[FR] Feature Request List

[oldman4U]

Dear reader,

This Feature Requests list has three "functions":

1: It allows users to check, if a certain feature has already been requested, before starting a new ticket.

2: Mark features which are already under development to avoid, that several developers are working on the same function.

3: There is now a BOT which closes inactive tickets. Some of them are probably useful, so it makes sense to make them available at a more prominent place.

Notes:
Read the Read me before posting! to see if you would like to ask for an already listed FR.
Feel free to start a new FR Ticket, in case your feature or function is not listed here.
To join an existing FR, please click on the link below. Even the ticket is closed, it does not mean that it can not be used anymore.
Feel free to add your comments related to this FR ticket below.
New feature requests will be added as fast as possible.
Feature Requests shown in Bold are under development and if possible the developer is mentioned next to it.
Notes from the community are added to each FR in CAPITAL LETTERS.
Features which have been merged into the master branch, will be removed from this list.

PS: A user asked me what happens with this list in case I do not want to maintain it anymore or when I die. Well, I am younger than my nickname makes you believe, but this is a valid question, so here is my answer.

Besides the possibility to reopen all tickets or to fall back to the status before this list has been made, there is still the option to copy and paste this ticket into a new one at any time. Or I am able to hand it over to another user, so I would do so...

Thank you

Thank you @oldman4U ! I am also a RRF user, sadly can't code, but try my best to ask for help in the RRF community. Do you think it is a good idea to add the RRF relates changes and requirements how to use it to the Readme along with the already implemented features? I will check out how I can commit readmes, but I could take my part in the job with documentation, to make it more visible.

[oldman4U]

You are welcome. Depending on the amount of additional information it could be useful to add a separate ReadMe. To edit the ReadMe or generate a new one you need a text editor capable to edit .md files. I use Typora on a Mac for this and it is at least a good starting point. Let me know in case you need any help bttguy <[email protected]> schrieb am Mi. 10. März 2021 um 10:19:

Thanks @oldman4U I have a Windows, but I search for some compatible editor and experiment with a fork how GitHub works apart from chatting with people :D
There are already a handful of information regarding setup and functionality, I hope it could be helpful for new users who want to try it.

@bigtreetech hi,
Could you please review these two topics?
Can they be added to the TO DO list?
#1506 Clickable status buttons during print
#1572 Optimised Print menu and List/thumbnail selection addition to top row

[oldman4U]

sarvenn.

They are already on the list, check again.

Hi @oldman4U ,
I meant here #1830 .

[CyberDeck]

@oldman4U, I will try to come up with some ideas for #1896. Not so much for a child lock (a 3D printer should be always put in a safe place where no child could reach it) but more in terms of a general "accidential touch" / "rotate" lock like a mobile keylock feature.

First idea I will give a try: Implement some kind of "long touch" on the title bar to lock and unlock the screen. Should not be to hard to implement.

[oldman4U]

Sounds great.

Please keep in mind the limited resources we have.

@oldman4U FR #1945 was implemented so you can remove it from the list

@oldman4U FR #438 and FR #810 have been implemented by PR #2241 so they can be removed from the list.
Furthermore the readme file should be updated reporting the following Octoprint integration guide:

INTEGRATION WITH OCTOPRINT / OCTOPRINT TRIGGERING COMMANDS:
Octoprint can optionally trigger some actions to the TFT sending specific gcodes. The following actions and the related triggering gcodes are currently supported by the TFT fw:

start:
M118 A1 P0 action:print_start

end:
M118 A1 P0 action:print_end

cancel:
M118 A1 P0 action:cancel

pause:
M118 A1 P0 action:pause

resume:
M118 A1 P0 action:resume

time remaining progress:
M118 A1 P0 action:notification Time Left <XX>h<YY>m<ZZ>s (e.g. 02h04m06s)
or
M117 Time Left <XX>h<YY>m<ZZ>s

file data progress:
M118 A1 P0 action:notification Data Left <XXXX>/<YYYY> (e.g. 123/12345)
or
M117 Data Left <XXXX>/<YYYY>

When the trigger "print_start" is received, the TFT switches to Printing menu.
Once on Printing menu, the "pause", "resume" and "stop" buttons on the menu will be disabled.
That means only Octoprint will control the print.
Only on print end or cancel the TFT Printing menu is finalized (statistics available etc...) and unlocked (it can be closed).

NOTE: A new plugin on Octoprint implementing the above protocol should be the preferable way (available to everyone)

#2005 MULTI_VOLUME Support

Done in PR #2418, it all depends on Marlin's repository maintainers. (MarlinFirmware/Marlin#23780)

[Tannoo]

Could we get all marlin mode options in the TFT?

Would be great to get rid of marlin mode and it's cables.

And what specifically are you missing? :-)

[Tannoo]

Status updates during PID autotuning.

Probe offset wizard

Those are off the top of my head that I needed Marlin Mode for so far.

I will let you know when I find more.

[radek8]

As far as I know, both named functions are available in touch mode (in the current version).

[radek8]

Special functions for atypical printer configurations can still be performed via commands in a terminal window.
I haven't run the Marlin mode on the printer for over a year.
Everything I need is configurable via touch mode.
I think in most cases with higher control comfort.

[radek8]

Unfortunately, there are currently a few edits and bug fixes waiting to be merged, but BTT probably isn't interested in continuing.

[Tannoo]

Unless these are tucked away that I have not found.

[Tannoo]

Is there a V4 in the pipes?

[radek8]

[Tannoo]

Okay. You got me ;)
