Playing "Still Alive" from Portal using custom G-code on BambuLab H2S

Bambu Lab H2 Series
1

I tried playing Still Alive from Portal using custom G-code on my BambuLab H2S. The melody is played through the stepper motors

How it works

The M1006 command drives the stepper motors at specific frequencies to produce musical tones. By chaining multiple commands, you can play full melodies.

Note reference

Here are G-code examples for a full octave (do–re–mi scale). Adjust the A, C, E values to change pitch, and the B, D, F values to control duration (10 ≈ 0.1 seconds).

M1006 A49 B25 L99 C49 D25 M99 E49 F25 N99 ; C (do)
M1006 A51 B25 L99 C51 D25 M99 E51 F25 N99 ; D (re)
M1006 A53 B25 L99 C53 D25 M99 E53 F25 N99 ; E (mi)
M1006 A54 B25 L99 C54 D25 M99 E54 F25 N99 ; F (fa)
M1006 A56 B25 L99 C56 D25 M99 E56 F25 N99 ; G (sol)
M1006 A58 B25 L99 C58 D25 M99 E58 F25 N99 ; A (la)
M1006 A60 B25 L99 C60 D25 M99 E60 F25 N99 ; B (si)
M1006 A61 B50 L99 C61 D50 M99 E61 F50 N99 ; C (high do)
M1006 A0  B80 L0  C0  D80 M0  E0  F80 N0  ; rest

Customizing the startup / shutdown beep

If you want to replace the default beep sound, you can paste your G-code into Bambu Studio under:

Printer Settings → Machine Start G-code or Machine End G-code

The gcode below plays the Still Alive melody from Portal.

:warning: Note: In this post, “A.55” (without dot) appears as ■■■ due to the forum’s content filter. Not sure why — just a heads-up if you copy the G-code and notice anything odd.

Will playing music on the steppers cause them to wear down faster or damage them?

There was a complete topic on the subject

BL even released a tool to make your own music
