Macros are small programs or functions written in [[Klipper]] [[gcode]]. They're defined in [[printer.cfg]] (or files that it includes) and are loaded when Klipper performs a soft or hard restart ([[https://www.klipper3d.org/G-Codes.html#restart|RESTART]] or [[https://www.klipper3d.org/G-Codes.html#firmware_restart|FIRMWARE_RESTART]] respectively), which reads printer.cfg. 

Macros can be called from:
  * [[gcode]]
  * the [[fluidd]] console
  * by pressing a button for the macro in the [fluidd] GUI
