The G4 Sxxx command allows you to pause a print for a number of seconds.
This means you can MAKE A CLOCK!
I wrote a C program to print tick marks every minute and used the G4 S60 command to delay between tick marks.
Count the layers to see what the hour is!

HA! I like it! Kind of like a "Hello, world!" program for 3D-printers.
Speaking of which, has anyone done a legit "Hello, world!" for G code? Like writing out the text on the build plate?
Are you sure? yes | no
