Standardize documentation wording by listing Nightly builds before release versions across multiple docs (calibration, material, print settings, developer guide). Also add an IMPORTANT note to calibration/temp_calib.md announcing auto size adjustment for the temperature tower based on nozzle diameter. Changes improve consistency and surface the new temperature-tower feature.

G-Code Output
These settings control how G-code is generated and formatted. They impact readability, file size, print behavior, and compatibility with firmware and post-processing tools.
- Reduce Infill Retraction
- Add line number
- Verbose G-code
- Label Objects
- Exclude Objects
- Filename Format
- Change extrusion role G-code
Reduce Infill Retraction
Variable: reduce_infill_retraction.
When enabled, the slicer will skip retractions for travel moves that occur entirely inside infill regions. This reduces the number of retractions and can speed up printing for complex models, but it may increase oozing or stringing inside infill. Slicing time may also increase slightly.
Recommended when internal cosmetic quality is not critical and you want fewer retractions.
Add line number
Variable: gcode_add_line_number.
Prefix each G-code line with a sequential line number (N1, N2, ...). Useful for debugging or tools that expect numbered G-code.
Verbose G-code
Variable: gcode_comments.
Include descriptive comments for G-code lines and blocks to make the file human-readable and easier to debug.
Verbose mode produces much larger files and may slow down SD-card printing on some printers.
Label Objects
Variable: gcode_label_objects.
Insert comments that label moves with the object they belong to (object index or name). This is useful for integrations such as OctoPrint's Cancel Object plugin and for human inspection of the G-code.
Important
Object labelling is not compatible with Single-Extruder Multi-Material configurations or with "Wipe into Object" / "Wipe into Infill" strategies.
When those features are active, labels may be omitted.
Exclude Objects
Variable: exclude_object.
Add an EXCLUDE OBJECT marker or command in the exported G-code for objects flagged as excluded. This helps post-processors or custom scripts recognise excluded parts.
Filename Format
Define a filename template for exported G-code. Templates may include tokens like project name, date, or other metadata to produce consistent and informative filenames on export.
For example:
{input_filename_base}_{filament_type[initial_tool]}_{print_time}.gcode
Can be used to generate filenames like OrcaCube_PLA_1h15m.gcode.
Tip
Check Naming Built in placeholders variables for available tokens and their meanings.
Change extrusion role G-code
This G-code is inserted when the extrusion role is changed.
This is the process section of the feature "Change Extrusion Role G-code" that is also available in the Material settings and Printer settings.
Tip
Read the Printer settings for more details and examples.
