FAQ

Will be the used filament also subtracted for canceled and failed prints?

Yes. The software odometer sums up the required filament for each command OctoPrint sends to your printer. Therefor it makes no difference whether the print finishes, fails or getting canceled.

The used filament won't be subtracted when printing from SD

Due to how this feature works it is not possible to count the used filament in this case. (See the question above.)

Are multi-color prints supported?

Yes. The filament manager supports multiple hotends and the manual change of the filament during the print. In the latter case you can either pause your print manually or by inserting the M0 command in your gcode file. The M600 command is not supported at the moment.

My profiles/spools will not be loaded

This can happen after updating the filament manager if the browser still uses the files from the cache. If you encounter this issue try to clear your browser cache and reload the page.

Is it possible to change the location of the plugin in the sidebar?

You can reorder the items in the sidebar in the config.yaml. E.g. to put the filament selection below the printer state add the following to your config:

appearance:
  components:
    order:
      sidebar:
      - connection
      - state
      - plugin_filamentmanager
