Filament Usage
-
What is the firmware looking for as far as filament usage goes? When I print stuff sliced in KISS the filament usage is always N/A. Is there anything I can do to get these to show up? Theres a "mark stop/start" option in KISS that adds in M101/103 or G10/11, is this what I'm looking for or is it a red herring?
-
Is this in the documentation and I just missed it?
-
It's looking for a comment near the start or end of the file that gives the amount of filament needed. Does KISS provide one?
-
There is, but its formatted like this at the very end.
[c]; Filament used per extruder:
; Ext 1 = 12673.55 mm (30.483 cm^3)[/c] -
For KISS the code is looking for string "; Estimated Build Volume: ". I guess KISS has changed since that bit was written. If you can confirm that you are using the latest version, I will change it in the next release - if Chrishamm doesn't beat me to it.

I'm really outdated, I didnt even know. I'm still on beta 2.20 and theres an official 1.5 release. I'll download it and check it out. This is what I get for not checking the forums more often.
-
Just tested release version and its in the same format.
-
I'm not promising anything quickly, but can you send a sample gcode file that I can test with?
-
Thats fine. I can just edit the file until you get it fixed. Its just a nice to have to get a decent approximation
