Turning filaments on/off like printers

victoriarobox · 2016-07-03T23:28:43.000Z

If I happen to run out of a kind of filament, I don’t want to delete it and readd it when more comes in. I would rather be able to switch it off temporarily.

Cheers

It would be much better if we could enter the available amount for each filament (like weight) and then after each print it would subtract the material used from the available amount automatically.

This is a pretty good idea. Hopefully the 3D hubs team should look into it.

Agree! @Brian @Ewelina_Szczepa what do you guys think?

@shahramrobotics @GIFT3D @gabriela3d yep we agree, its one of the features we’ve got on our backlog/roadmap, we want to do it well and also for other technologies not just FDM, so it’s a fairly complex feature, but a nice one
