Hi @michastro ,

To make a macro print in the console, you can use the `RESPOND` command.

1. Make sure there is a `[respond]` line in your `printer.cfg`
2. Use in your macro:

```cfg
[gcode_macro MY_MACRO]
gcode:
    {% set bed_temp = params.BED | default(60) | float %}
    RESPOND MSG="Print Temp: {bed_temp|round(1)}"

```

You can also use `action_respond_info`:

```yaml
{ action_respond_info("Print temp: {bed_temp|round(1)}") }

```
