Job status by filament usage

I watched the figures given by DWC for my latest print as it approached the end. The filament-based estimated end time remained fairly accurate and converged to zero time remaining at the end of the print. The filament usage count at the end tallied exactly with the expected usage count as far as I could tell, certainly within 1mm. This was on a print sliced by S3D version 4.0.0 and not using firmware retraction.

If there really is a problem in RRF in this area, I need more information so that I can reproduce it; for example a sample GCode file along with config.g settings that will enable me to replicate it.

PS - one thing I noticed during testing is that if you turn the printer off in the middle of a print and then resurrect it, the print times are inaccurate. This is because the resurrection data doesn't include the amount of filament consumed, so it counts from zero again. I'll make a note to fix this.

@dc42 sorry I've been away, @dc42 . The prusa slicer bug is what I'm referring to. The DWC shows nothing for filament usage.

When was that fixed?

Did you read what dc42 has written? Please post a sample g-code file with this problem and config.g. And maybe M122 response because I use Prusa Slicer too and don't have any problems with filament usage.

There is an entry for Prusa slicer in the version 2.03 section of the whatsnew file. Is that the one you mean?

Firmware version?

chas2706

Its a Duet Ethernet on version 2.02RTOS. Luckily I have a camera so I can guestimate myself.

Please try 2.04RC4.

chas2706

Ok thanks I will try it out later and let you know.

"Recognise filament usage comment in Prusa slicer" was added in RRF 2.03.

If you're going to update, don't forget to check through the What's New document to see how changes to the firmware may effect your configuration. And back up your existing, working config, so you can revert to it if necessary.

Ok will do, thanks for that.
