Injection extrudes a lot of filament while the nozzle barely moves, so Klipper's max_extrude_cross_section (and max_extrude_only_distance) hard-abort the print at the first injection unless raised in printer.cfg — and they can't be set from G-code, so the slicer can't do it for the user.

Documents this prominently where people will hit it:

  • README — a required-before-printing ⚠️ callout in Try it
  • RELEASE — Notes
  • settings — top of the Magma Injection section
  • how-it-works — Plunge section (also notes the extrusion-paced injection feedrate)

(A matching note is going into the magma_injection_plunge tooltip in the slicer, with the injection-pacing fix.)

Injection extrudes a large volume of filament while the nozzle barely moves, so the
effective extrusion cross-section is very high. Klipper's max_extrude_cross_section (and
max_extrude_only_distance) will hard-abort the print at the first injection unless raised
in printer.cfg, and they can't be set from G-code. Document this prominently:
- README: a required-before-printing callout in 'Try it'
- RELEASE: Notes
- settings: top of the Magma Injection section
- how-it-works: Plunge section (also notes the extrusion-paced feedrate)
