start.g with temperature and print ranges, etc?
-
Is there a way to pass temperature, material, print ranges etc from the slicer to the start.g?
With this, we can put as much common starting part into the start.g file as possible. Otherwise, we may have to use slicer specific start part.

start.g runs before the slicer gcode.
running a seperate macro at the start of the print called from the slicer and passing in the values is common -
as superbrain said. Teamgloomy built a reference config using a start_print macro from the slicer, you can have a look at https://github.com/TeamGloomy/Troodon-V2/tree/improved/Config/sys

Thanks both, this confirms my understanding and the example configuration is very helpful.
I saw some release notes that we will have job.file.customInfo, which could already have this info. But I'm not sure it's accessible in the start.g or not -- I'd wait for a stable release to try this.

I do a generic preheat in start.g to get the heaters warming up while the printer homes. Then the slicer takes over with final temps. Saves some time anyway.
