Execute custom GCODE after printing each item in sequence

[Turbine1991]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Currently CURA decides a path from whichever height it ends on after finishing a model. The gantry or hotend may run into other models at this level on the way.

Describe the solution you'd like

Allowing custom GCODE would allow us to move the Z upwards before moving onwards to the next model. Ideally it would be aware of the height of other models. Executing GCODE would allow a beeping tone between objects.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There doesn't seem to be any apart from only printing short models and printing one at a time.

Affected users and/or printers

Anyone who uses sequence printing who may have adjusted the gantry boundaries in order to allow printing multiple high objects.

I don't use one-at-a-time very often but playing with it here I found that Cura will bump up the Z travel height between models to 5mm above the tallest model printed so far within the project. It would appear that there is no danger of a crash unless the gantry comes down on a model.
Here are 4 models. The print order and model heights are: Left Front (150), Right Front (25) Left Rear (175), Right Rear (25).
Travel from #1 to start #2 is at 155.
Travel from #2 to start #3 is at 155.
Travel from #3 to start #4 is at 180.
So it looks like its already doing what you are asking for. The travel height is always above the tallest model yet printed.
This is with all lines shut off except for the travel moves.

Are you getting different results? I was using 5.2.1 for this test.

You would be correct when it comes to smaller models below the gantry. But when you need to print multiple objects, one has to make up a false value so you can achieve this. It works, but some special care needs to be done to avoid tripping up CURA's default behaviour. (You also have to manually position things to be done at the front first)
