Hibernate feature?

Hibernate feature?
March 25, 2017 04:32AM
I'm printing with a BQ/Hephestos 2 printer. The firmware is derived from Marlin [github.com]

I was wondering if there would exist an "Hibernate" feature.
What I mean by hibernate would be the ability to pause an ongoing printing, turn off the printer and be able to resume at any point later. I imagine the printer state would be saved and restored using the SD card.

The existing pause/resume feature is just fine for short break but let the nozzle at hight temperature which is energy consuming and potentially dangerous if I let the printer unattended.

That could be really nice for long printing.

If not existing would this feature be already planed on a future firmware release?
