Material usage for each nozzle.

Hiya,

I was wondering if it's possible to separate the material used along with its value per kg on the preview screen.

I use ABS and hips, different values apply. Combining them is not accurate in any shape or form.

I would be really grateful if you could add this to the next up date.

Regards

Becky

+1 and bump.

This is important when using different (and differently priced) materials. S3D already displays different toolhead paths in different colors so I don't see why not have:

Build time: 7 hours 45 minutes
Tool 0 Filament length: 11357.0 mm
Tool 1 Filament length: 5866.0 mm
Tool 0 Plastic weight:... etc....


For now, when printing PLA+PVA support, I do a workaround: copy my process, set to right extr only (pva one), make infill, perimeters, top/bot layers, and everything unrelated to support 0, the click preview - that's my PVA usage. Subtract that from dual extruder filament usage.
