Hi Everyone,
How does this "remaining filament length" table look? Feel free to make your own copy of the google sheet (https://bit.ly/47rAc5w) to adjust the spool dimensions. Let me know how it works!
Thanks!
Dan

I love this.  I looked at your spreadsheet.  I have a problem with it as it's "access only" so I can't change the PLA Diameter to 2.85mm (which is what Ultimaker uses).  And ideally the radius and width would default to Ultimaker spool dimensions.  I also love how you show your assumptions on the spreadsheet itself (but not in the image above).

 

I moved this out of the ultimaker printer area and into "3rd party...".

 

Is there a way you can allow people to edit the 3 yellow blocks only?  Or create this as a javascript web page?

 

But I do love this and hope to be able to use it some day.

@gr5  Thanks!

 

Oh, yeah.  Note that you can select “File” and “Make a Copy” for this Google Sheet once you login to your Google Account.

This will allows you to edit the document and keep a copy for yourself as well.  

 

Hope this helps!
Dan

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
