How to set a printer.xxx value

General Discussion

Hello how can I set a certain value to e.g.

printer.firmware_retraction.retract_length

inside a Gcode-macro?

I tried this but get errors:

[gcode_macro M207]
gcode:
    {% if params.S is defined %}
      set printer.firmware_retraction.retract_length = VALUE={params.S|int}
    {% endif %}

SET not defined.

“It should also be noted that you cannot change any of the values found in the
printer object. The only way to change anything is if there is an available gcode
to do so.”

You’re able to set the firmware retraction params via a gcode command: G-Codes - Klipper documentation
