Hello,
I am working on configuring a dual extruder system in E3D and would like to print ABS with the main head and support with a secondary head. This seems pretty straightforward, as I can set the temp for the individual extruders, and give them the correct offset. What I would like to see after processing, is how much material is being extruded from each tool. Is this possible? I need this info to size the filament rolls I will be buying and designing a combined dehydrator for.

Thanks,
Dan

I couldn't find any straightforward way to get that information. Only way I got the info was to preview the print with supports and then with out and subtract the plastic weights.

V5 has a new detailed preview statistics button that provides all of this information. It shows the exact time and material usage for each tool, feature type, and toolhead. Very helpful if you need to carefully measure your material usage or want to find the best ways to optimize your print time.
