Hi, now not log was implement in the main log file. Is it possible to add logs when the jobs are completed by reminding the user and the cost?

I also would like to see a log of the items printed with names, print time, filament length, and cost for each item printed. It would be great to be able to check project cost after a project is completed since the cost information is lost after it is finished printing.

To be honest I'm not going to implement this. The goal of this plugin is not to provide a print history. It provides a preview of the print cost and nothing more. You can easily track this with a spreadsheet.

It would be great to be able to check project cost after a project is completed since the cost information is lost after it is finished printing.

The information is not lost after a print has finished. As long as the gcode file is loaded the information is shown.

I think @fixyourlan was referring to a potential compilation of costs for filament & energy for the lifetime of the printer. Could this data be stored?
