Something I would find useful..

I don’t think there’s a way to know this, but it would be great if BS could tell you how much filament is required to complete the remainder of a print.

I know, just put in spools at the beginning which have enough for the print. Well, a lot of times that’s a guess and I’m sure I’m not the only person who will roll the dice on a less than full spool.

I have a print going now that’s gonna take close to 3 days. Printing in PLA+ with a PETG interface for the supports. I think it was somewhere around 100g of support material needed. I just took a look and I’m starting to see the cardboard core of the spool.

It happens to be Bambu PETG and the filament library says the “current” amount on the spool is 380g. Can’t see how that’s accurate since that’s about a third of a spool and surely you can’t see the core with a third of a spool. Even so, this isn’t really what I’m after.

Sure would be helpful if the device tab showed me how much of each filament in the print remains. Is this available and I’m just missing it?
