    Another Robo first I got my ROBO to play "Shave and a Haircut - Two Bits" prior to every print.

    Thanks to AutopsyTurvey who suggested it for a reminder to let her know she need to clean the nozzle of stuff prior to a new print.

    She want ed it to heat to a given temp then do a little dance or something to get her attention and then pause while she cleaned the nozzle. She asked me if I could help

    Whoala !!!!!

    "Shave and a Haircut - Two Bits"

    it is done by moving the extruder along the x an y axis at different speeds to create pitches faster = higher. The duration or length of the move determines how long you hear the pitch.

    All this is done directly in GCode so it is not for novices
    I basically just move the nozzle but dont'extrude anything to get it to make the pitch.
    I then Pause it with the message "Clean and Continue" I hit continue the print and everything is normal


    Now at this time the pitch is not perfect but it is in the ballpark
    Note everyone's motors may not make the same sound at the same speed so some adjustments would most likely need to be made.

    I am not posting the actual code becasue I donot want some who does not know what they are doing in GCODE messing around there but PM me and I can get you what I have

    This has nothing to do with printing but it will not affect your printer in any adverse way if care is taken manipulating the GCODE

    Here is the GCODE for it and it worked on my printer and on Autopsyturvy's but I cannot guarantee it anywhere else

    You must be familiar with GCODE also. I would not recommend placing this code into your scripts until you are very good at it and have tested it
    No promises it was done a long time ago and lots of things have changed

    Here it is I have not tested it in along time myself

    G1 X15.000 F8000.000
    G1 X30.000
    G1 X1.000 F9000.000
    G1 X30.000 F8000.000
