Extending bgcode #62
Description
Hi guys, not sure if this is right repository, if not, could you please suggest better place?
Issue
Gcode is filament profile specific. This forces user to go back to slicer anytime they just want to swap to different material (or do plenty of manual adjustments on the printer).
Proposal
One solution how to fix this problem would be to not have filament profile specific gcodes - I guess that could be challenging due to compatibility reasons, but considering you are owner of new bgcode format I think it's opening some doors... 😊
BGcode could actually support storing of all slicer installed filament profiles with placeholders on important places.
This way when user would pick filament,then printer could generate gcode out of universal bgcode by simply using find/replace.
Final thought
Solution is not perfect as obviously it would not work with gcode, but for users who anyway uses just bgcode it would work and actually would be another selling point for using them...
Not sure if there is some better way, maybe there is, just I got annoyed by this problem so started to think what could be done about it. What do you think? Does it make sense?
