Exclude Objects
Exclude individual objects while a print is in progress.
This feature was integrated in
Klipper v0.10.0-438
, Moonraker v0.7.1-445
and Mainsail v2.1.0
. Please check your installed versions first and update them if necessary.In order to use the feature, your slicer must be configured to name the individual objects in the G-Code. The G-Code must be preprocessed either by a post-processing script in the slicer or by Moonraker plus the functionality must be enabled in Klipper.
Please note that only G-Code files that have been prepared accordingly support the feature, it will not work with old, unprocessed files.
In PrusaSlicer or SuperSlicer you have to enable the checkbox in:
Print Settings > Output options > Output file > Label objects

Cura & Ideamaker label objects by default in the G-Code, and they are automatically compatible without any further settings.
This step is necessary to convert the previously activated object labels into valid Klipper G-Code. Open your
moonraker.conf
in Mainsail, add the following setting to your config and restart the Moonraker service:[file_manager]
enable_object_processing: True
Alternatively it is possible to use an external preprocessor. See preprocess-cancellation for more details.
Open your
printer.cfg
in Mainsail and add the following setting to it:[exclude_object]
From now on all newly uploaded G-Code files should support this function. A new button in form of a dashed square with an x in the center appears in the status panel.

The button will open a dialog in which you can select each individual object and exclude it from the currently ongoing print.

Only G-Code files prepared this way support excluding objects.
