It would be very advantageous have simplify break down the amount of all materials individually on the G-Code page. Currently there is only the total weight and length of filament used. I have a dual extruder set-up and I want to know before I start a build, how much of each filament I am going to consume. That way I know if I have enough of the filaments required or how much of a hydrophillic filament to unpack. I currently have to do a mult-step process where in I determine the total weight and price of the consumed filament, then go back into the process and change one of the filament cost values to zero, then using the altered material cost value determine the amount that this material used from the total.

Obviously, Simplify is determining the amounts of both materials used, I would just like it to display it to me when I hit "Prepare to Print!". Something like this:


Build Statisitics

Build time: 48 hours 33 minutes
Filament length: 356947.6 mm
Tool 0 Filament Length: 323095.5 mm
Tool 1 Filament Length: 33858.0 mm
Plastic weight: 2821.46 g (6.22 lb)
Tool 0 Plastic Weight: 2555.83 g (5.62 lb)
Tool 1 Plastic Weight: 265.67 g (0.60 lb)
Material cost: 155.55
Tool 0 Material Cost: 103.00
Tool 1 Material Cost: 52.55

This would be a very good function for calculating the consumption of individual materials. You can use the Repetier-guest program from the generated GCODE to calculate the consumption.
But it would be easier for it to be in Simplify3D.

You'd want it to allow for mixed costs per Tool. When printing with different material types, for instance.
