Display grams in addition to meters about prusacontrol

[rkarlsba]

It would be rather nice to have the numbers in grams instead of meters. I rarely think of the length of filament and it'd be a PITA to measure out that before printing. Could you add this, please?

I swear it used to show grams now all I see is metres and mm3

it is a lot easier to weigh a spool and guess remaining amount then keeping track of metres ...

This will have to be calculated for each material, here is a guide, although there are no references

Hi John, We already implemented a cost calculation tool in our Slic3r under "filament settings > filament", just under the filament diameter you can set density and cost!

I really would like to have this feature build in PrusaControl as well. even for the Prusa filaments sold in your store, you are selling them per kg. there is no information about how many meters are on one spool, so how should we as users know if you don't even give us this information for your own products?

Hello, We just implemented the feature that if you generate the g-code a box with filament length and estimated print time duration will appear on the bottom right corner. This both works on latest Prusa Slic3r or PrusaControl. Make sure you install the latest drivers pack. 1Kg filament is usually around 300m of filament, this information is actually possible to be calculated knowing the specific weight of filament, weigth in volume or weigth in meters. Not blaming on you, obviously we don't assume the customer have to calculate this but not all manufacturer specify filament length. 1kg PLA is usually aboyt 300m, ABS 330m as is less dense plastic. These are kind of standard for manufacturers, doesn't very much from manufacturer to manufacturer so the information is easy to source on internet.
