Estimate Material for each extruder

Hi.
It would be very useful to have, in prints with double extruder, the estimate of the material used for each of the two, instead of just the total of the material used for printing.

Re: Estimate Material for each extruder

You can currently use the following variables to include a breakdown for each extruder in your G-Code output.

[total_filament_weight]
[extruder#_filament_weight]

[total_filament_cost]
[extruder#_filament_cost]

[total_filament_used]
[extruder#_filament_used]

Example Append Post Processing Script:

Code: Select all

{APPEND "; total filament wg = [total_filament_weight]\n; T0 filament wg = [extruder0_filament_weight]\n; T1 filament wg = [extruder1_filament_weight]\n; total filament cost = [total_filament_cost]\n; T0 filament cost = [extruder0_filament_cost]\n; T1 filament cost = [extruder1_filament_cost]\n; total filament used = [total_filament_used]\n; T0 filament used = [extruder0_filament_used]\n; T1 filament used = [extruder1_filament_used]"}
