5 years ago Just starting using the PRUSA Multi Material Unit. It allows printing from up to 5 filaments through a single extruder. It would be great if Filament Manager would allow be link multiple spools in the database to the gcode tool (T0,T1,T2,T3, etc). This way a multi-color print using tool 2 and tool 4 would correctly decrement the associated two spools.
This would probably need to be a new "mode" for Filament manager. Single Filament Mode (as currently written) that requires a single spool to be selected, or Multi Filament Mode, where you have to specific the number of slots, link a spool to each slot, and probably define the GCODE that would be used to activate that spool. In this example, the GCODE would be the Tx commands - but making this a parameter may enable Filament Manager to work with a variety of other multiple-filament solutions.
