printcfg's Issues

[FEATURE]

hi,
I could not get the start gcode to play nice with OrcaSlicer.

1. Failed to generate G-code for invalid custom G-code.
   machine_start_gcode Parsing error at line 2: Not a variable name
   SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=_printcfg VARIABLE=extruder_temp VALUE={first_layer_temperature[initial_extruder] + extruder_temperature_offset[initial_extruder]}
   ^
   It is pointing to extruder_temperature_offset[initial_extruder].
   I removed this offset from start gcode. Onto point 2.

2. Failed to generate G-code for invalid custom G-code.
   machine_start_gcode Parsing error at line 4: Referencing a vector variable when scalar is expected
   SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=_printcfg VARIABLE=chamber_temp VALUE={chamber_temperature}
   ^
   It is pointing at {chamber_temperature}. I removed this line. Onto point 3.

3. Failed to generate G-code for invalid custom G-code.
   machine_start_gcode Parsing error at line 5: Not a variable name
   SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=_printcfg VARIABLE=material_color VALUE={filament_colour_int}
   ^
   Now it is pointing at {filament_colour_int}. Also removed the line. Onto point 4.

4. Failed to generate G-code for invalid custom G-code.
   machine_start_gcode Parsing error at line 7: Not a variable name
   SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=_printcfg VARIABLE=tool_name VALUE="'{tool_name[initial_extruder]}'"
   ^
   Now it is pointing at {tool_name[initial_extruder]}.

I have zero understanding in coding macros, or coding of any sort :)
Can you provide start and other gcodes for OrcaSlicer? Can your configuration play nice with it? I have a feeling Orca does not use the above mentioned variables at all... In any case, appreciate your work, thank you

Does this work with prusaSlicer?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Already configured the user_profile and add the commands to my Prusaslicer but when I slice the model I got various error "Parsing error at line X: Not a variable name" in various parts of the slicer not only in the custom start gcode but in the layer change too

Clearly outline your question
I just want to know if this work with Prusaslicer? or most of those variables are only for Supe Slicer

Describe your hypothesis
I think most of the variables used are only for Superslicer
