Total hours of printing

hi, first of all thank you for having invented this software, I congratulate you it is as its name indicates it very simple and effective!
I think it could give us the time to accumulate with a reset, and a starting value * to change the nozzle every 200 hours of operation for example.
* I currently have 12 hours of impression on my nozzle and I would like that it is twelve hours are taken into account.
Thx.

Re: Total hours of printing

number of slicers tried and failed in having this type of info maintained ...
- nozzle ware
- how much filament is left on spool
- how much ware you have on your rods (was important when using rolling bearings on soft smooth rods)
..

it's something really a firmware on the printer should handle, not the slicer
gcodestat integrates with Simplify3D and allow you to
Calculate print time accurately (acceleration, max speed, junction deviation all taken into consideration)
Embed M117 codes into G-Code
Upload your G-Code directly to Octoprint
open source and unlicence
