And when it grinds and you have to pull off a meter or meter and half? Do you know how much you have used before you had to do that? And farms that have multiple machines going balls to the walls with multiple people would greatly complicate that.
A physical detector would notice a halt of filament regardless of the situation. And, again, all other threads about this are people working toward a physical solution.
And as I said, if it is easy to create a plugin then by all means, but I think it would be extremely limited.
I know I would never use it if the physical solution works because it covers more ground with the same result. Also, as I said about pausing and resuming, it seems to do a pretty good job of that as it is. Sometimes I wait a while before it happens and sometimes not so long.

Problem was that dilithium was very difficult with legislation, being an accidental space-time warp risk. So we removed that feature last second.

It's bigger. 330x245x315mm to be exact. And that volume can be used by BOTH nozzles. No more less volume for dual extrusion prints. It has a flow sensor, that works for jam detection as we

As for the flow sensor. We (the Mark2 crowd ) almost finished development for an external flow sensor for the UM2+ including firmware integration. Mechanically it fits to the UM3, but connecting to e

Hi
At some point anything you do with "how much filament" is going to be a guess. There are cases where *knowing* when the changeover will be is a good thing. Not just from the standpoint of the print. It's also nice for the person swapping spools. Trading off a bit of material left on the spool against this convenience *is* very much part of the deal. You get something / you loose something. If meters of filament instead of grams makes things easier to code ... go for it. Translating from meters <-> grams offline is not that big a deal. Coming up with a post it note for whatever I normally use is pretty easy.
