<p>I know that <code>M73 P19</code> means "Set completion progress to 19%", and I suspect that <code>M73 R42</code> means "Set remaining time to 42 minutes", but what is <code>M73 Q17 S43</code>? I can't find description of such syntax.</p>

<p>The command is seen in <code>.gcode</code> files produced by PrusaSlicer.</p>

Normal mode is required for the detection of lost steps (shifted layers), while still being quieter than the silent mode on MK2/S. There is also the Stealth mode, which utilizes Trinamic StealthChop technology, making the printer almost inaudible with the print cooling fan being the noisiest part of the printer. However, Stealth mode does not provide lost step detection.</p>\n</blockquote>\n\n<p>Stealth mode times can be a bit higher than normal mode estimation times. Estimation is done by the slicer. As Prusa maintains this feature, their times are accurate for their printers, but that does not have to be the case for custom printers. </p>\n\n<p>To get the current progress, the <code>M73</code> command is called without parameters:</p>\n\n<blockquote>\n  <p>Use "M73" by itself to get a report of the current print progress.</p>\n</blockquote>\n'}]
