This Cura plugin simply adds a GUI to allow you to add layer-focused post-processing scripts directly from Cura's print preview.

This plugin causes a new button to appear when the Preview tab of Cura is shown with a sliced model. This button allows a script to be added at the currently-displayed layer.

Buttons will also appear for post-processing scripts that activate at specific layers in the model. Left-clicking these buttons will activate the corresponding layer (on the Preview tab only). Right-clicking will bring up the script settings. Center-clicking will remove the script.

Finally, when saving gcode to a file or sending it to a printer, the plugin will display a rough estimate of when each post-processing script's changes will take effect. This can be useful, for instance, in determining when a print will pause.
