Feature request: Add option to beep when finished print

[mrjohnc]

Add option in settings menu for the printer to beep when a print has finished (like a microwave does). This will help to get the attention of the user if they are not in the room, listening to music etc.

Hello John,
Thanks for your feedback!

Actually, we have this for long time in our list and still thinking how to do it to satisfy all people.

We'll definitelly do that!

I was looking to add this option as well.
For now a workable solution is to add the following to your "End gcode":

M300 S1000 P50 ;First beep
M300 S0 P250 ;Wait
M300 S1000 P50 ;Second beep

Since this repository concerns the 3D printed parts, shouldn't this issue be transferred to the firmware or Slic3rPE repository?

Dear all,
there is already a super easy way to do it.
Edit the Slicer setting and let Slicer add some G-Code at the end of all generated G-Code files which does the beeping. I would recommend the following snipped:

;great for the end of your print job :-)

To repeat: this repository concerns the printed parts and not the firmware. This issue should be transferred to the firmware repository. That way chances of this issue being picked are much higher.

Hi Stelenhof, how do I do this? Do I just need to make a new one or can I move it somehow?

[stelgenhof]

@mrjohnc You just need to create a new issue at the firmware repository as there is no possibility to automatically transfer an issue on github.com. (Apologies if I made you believe that) :)

Cheers! Sacha

Hi @mrjohnc ,
as this is firmware-related issue, let me transfer it to the prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware repository.

[mrjohnc]

Thanks very much :)

I didn't realise it can play songs 👍

@mrjohnc If you got an answer to your issue and it is working for you, can you please also close issues that have been solved?

To the best of my understanding this feature request has not yet been implemented yet

[3d-gussner]

@mrjohnc There is no need for a firmware change as you can add beep, music in your end gcode.
Please close this issue.
[stale][fixed by end-code]

[mrjohnc]

This depends on if the person wanted it to beep a certain number of times or if they wanted something like 'beep until button in pressed.

My understanding is that this issue should be moved to the PrusaSlicer to implement as a software feature, @stelgenhof prusa3d-bb is there a way to move this issue across to the other repo or does it need to be recreated?

It could be an option where you tick an option called something like 'beep at end of print' and offer an option to paste in 'music' or give a little tool tip for how to do this with an existing field.

[stelgenhof]

@mrjohnc I don't think it is possible to transfer issue automatically between repositories. At least that I am not aware of :)

[rdragonrydr]

I would personally have preferred this to be a setting I could enable or disable globally on my printer rather than having to re-slice everything, but having a default option and a checkbox in the Slicer *would* be an acceptable solution.

So this should stay as a hardware request?

I guess this is difficult to know where to put because there are two ways of implementing it... One approach would be to have both, e.g you can add some beeps or a song to the end of the print in PrusaSlicer but also you can set the machine to beep at the end of the print, to give people the option.

[rdragonrydr]

Hardware was my preference. I was hoping for a "none, beep, or keep beeping" selector in the onboard menu that I could set up and leave depending on where I had the printer. (And of course this would apply to all prints rather than just whatever new ones I make going forward. Some of my stuff needed fiddly slicing and I don't want to have to redo it all, since some of them are for projects that I keep making more of.)

Of particular note is the option to keep beeping until I go collect the print, because if I were to just add it in the end G-code it might end before I notice or keep beeping even after I get to the printer (since it would literally be a "beep x times" command rather than allow user interaction). With a hardware request, it could listen to the button status and shut off when I press the button to acknowledge.

End code is not currently an option for Prusa MINI owners, as the firmware does not appear to support M300 yet. See: #2795

[github-actions]

This issue has been flagged as stale because it has been open for 60 days with no activity. The issue will be closed in 7 days unless someone removes the "stale" label or adds a comment.

[bszonye]

Looks like M300 still isn't fully supported on Prusa MINI (see prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues/334), plus that's still only a workaround for the requested firmware option. Still would like to see this.

[3d-gussner]

@bszonye This is the repository for MK3/S/+, MK2.5S. Please open an issue for the MINI here https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy
Closing issue.

[bszonye]

No need, the issue that I linked above already covers this for MINI 👍 got mixed up about which issue was in which repo, sorry

[rdragonrydr]

Can I un-close this? The feature request was for firmware support for a beep on completed print.

The "workaround" solution of using end gcode has the issue of being a finite length and of locking up the printer until it stops beeping. It also does not work (persistently) if using the factory presets, as those cannot be saved or edited.

I would have to make a preset for each temperature, infill, etc and still edit the end gcode for each, then the printer would beep a few times and stop, so if I was not paying attention I would never know the printer was done. Alternatively, if I'm monitoring it, I can't start the next print until the beep cycle completes, so I can't make it indefinitely long.

TL;DR: Gcode cannot meet the need for a feature that can beep indefinitely or that does not lock up the hardware UI while beeping. I want something like the filament change alert that already exists, but that turns on when the print is done (just... without ejecting the filament).
