This is a list of variables available in custom G-Code macro language in PrusaSlicer. The macro language is described in detail in a separate page.
Placeholders for configuration options
Each configuration option can be used in all of your custom G-Codes and output filename template. The identifier of the respective placeholder is shown in a tooltip when you hover the config option in parameter tabs:
That is, using {layer_height} in a custom G-Code would expand into 0.15.
