Print current layer number on the 3D printer display.
This is a plugin for Ultimaker Cura, which does a bit of post processing after the file is sliced, and inserts a M117 GCode into the file, so that your printer can display the currently printing layer number on the connected LCD display.
Two scripts are provided - one for old version of Cura - version 15.X and one for new version 3.X. Copy the appropriate script into the Cura plugins directory.
On windows, plugin directory is:
- %APPDATA%\cura\3.4\scripts for Cura version 3.4
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Cura\Cura_15.04.6\plugins for Cura 15.04
After adding, the plugin will be available under Extension -> Post Processing -> Modify GCode menu item. When the 3D printer is printing, it will display the message like: Layer 3/25.
