Maintenance Reminder Feature

Features
1

I am thinking of implementing a feature and am looking for feedback from the community.

The maintenance reminders of newer printers such as the BL A1 are very helpful for beginners. They show up regularly and tell the user to lube the rails, clean the lead screw, etc.

As far as I know no such thing exists for Klipper printers.

Would such a feature be desirable in Klipper and if yes, what would you expect from it? How should it work? How configurable should it be? Should there be integration with Klipper screen?

Hi @Xipit ,

I made a tool for this: KlipperMaintenance. You can configure it to trigger a maintenance reminder after a certain print time, real time, or used filament threshold has passed. You can also make it run custom G-codes when maintenance expires, e.g. sending a notification to Mobileraker.

Oh, that looks cool. Great job!

Seems like I am a year too late :sweat_smile:
