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
