Can variable_bed_mesh_profile be set in the slicer?

[jade patrol]

quandary here.... for different bed temps (printing different materials) , resulting in different meshes.... can variable_bed_mesh_profile be called from the slicer g-code to load an appropriate mesh...rather than just setting it in printer.cfg?

absolutely. use SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=RatOS VARIABLE=bed_mesh_profile VALUE="'your_mesh'"

quick question, VALUE has to be in string?

in quotes?

without quotes I am getting: Unable to parse 'beacon_ASA_G11' as a literal: malformed node or string:

[lone raptor]

Yes if it has spaces

[novel raven]

i tried manually typing in console

SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=RatOS VARIABLE=bed_mesh_profile VALUE=ASA1

and it returns the same error

[lone raptor]

Just use quotes then

[novel raven]

@lone raptor well quotes just gave me the same error. i am lost

Hmm.. Seems like there's a bug in klipper, you can't use SET_GCODE_VARIABLE with strings.

Ah.. not a bug, that's apparently intended. I have no idea why

@novel raven this should work: SET_GCODE_VARIABLE MACRO=RatOS VARIABLE=bed_mesh_profile VALUE="'ASA1'"

It makes sense now. It's parsed as a literal or else you wouldn't be able to assign anything other than strings. This way you can do all types.
