Start printing / Stop printing at a defined height

[jiiimi]

Hello,

Is it possible please to add a start / stop printing functionality at a defined height:

Example :
Height range:
Start at height: 2mm
Stop at height: 5mm

Printing starts at a height of 2mm by executing the start gcode
Printing stops at a height of 5mm by executing the end gcode

Thanks very much

It's something you do very very often?

how to do that currently:

• cut your piece by 2mm, keeping only the top
• cut your piece by 5-2=3mm, keeping only the bottom
• add a part to this object: cube
• set the cube dimensions to 0.1mm
• click the "drop to bed" icon (right of z-position box).
• select your cut object via the right panel (not the root one), you should see its Z position as 0.
• change its Z position to 2
  finished!

Hello, Thanks for your reply and the information. Thank you for the development of this slicer which I consider number 1. Yes it is a function that I use very often. Do you think it is possible to integrate it into SuperSlicer please?

It takes a long amount of time to integrate a new GUI thing, and I don't see a whole lot of value in it (at least for the time it needs to integrate).
If one day I or someone add a function to "recover a fail print", maybe It can be used also for your use-case.

I'm not going ot work on that in the short term. If someone want to code it, I'll add it, but I don't have enough time right now.
