Hi Folks.

Does marlin BEEP BEEP ( make a sound) to let you know when the 3d print is ready ?


Thanks..

If you add the appropriate gcode to your gcode.end file.. see Beep gcode

but you should be watching it already. They are a huge fire risk.

Thanks..

I placed the beep gcode in cura -> Settings -> Printer -> Manage Printers -> Machine Settings -> Start Gcode and End Gcode at the end.

On a ANET A6 with the original firmware, no updated marlin or any thing else.

The M300 S hertz P milliseconds lets you choose the frequency.

At the moment i have this as experiment, to try to find the loudest volume of the beeps :

M300 S3500 P1000
G4 S2
M300 S3250 P1000
G4 S2
M300 S3000 P1000
G4 S2
M300 S2750 P1000
G4 S2
M300 S2500 P1000
G4 S2
M300 S2250 P1000
G4 S2
M300 S2000 P1000
G4 S2
M300 S1750 P1000
G4 S2

It works.

I've often wondered why both Marlin and the slicers don't all have an option to "enable sounds" for various events.

For example, if I turn my kitchen oven on and set it to 350, it will beep when it is preheated to 350. If I then change the temperature to 400, it will again beep when it hits the temperature. It would be awesome if Marlin did this, with a unique tone for the bed and extruder. It's not something that could be handled with g-code, as the temperature may have been set by the LCD control panel... such as me selecting "Preheat PLA".

Other beeps which would be handy (some in firmware, some g-code):
* Beeps after the first layer had been completed
* Beeps when the temperature had fallen below a pre-defined setpoint after a print was finished
* Continuous beeping on failures (thermal runaway, etc)
* A beep after each part is complete if printing multiple parts sequentially
* A beep a few seconds before the print starts. (For example, if the printer is waiting for temps to stabilize, and I'm touching up the gluestick on the bed or picking some goo off of the nozzle, it would be handy to have a warning that the carriage was about to move.)

All repraps do what you tell them to do.

If you want these features add them to your gcode

Please dont try and force your misguided belief on how it should work on the rest of us

Not all useful situations for aural feedback are a result of commands initiated or controlled by gcode.
