Report filament usage to Spoolman.
The UI and inner works of this companion plugin are based on OctoPrint-SpoolManager by OllisGit.
This plugin is developed in my spare time. If you like it, I would be thankful for a cup of coffee, or a sponsorship :)
- Software odometer to track amount of extruded filament
- Warns you if the selected spool has not enough filament left for the print job
- Automatically pause print if filament runs out
Install via the bundled Plugin Manager or manually using this URL:

After installation, you can listen on three release channels. What does this mean: Each channel has its own release-version and each release has a different kind of functionality and stability.
- "Only Release": Only stable and tested versions will be shown in the software-update section of OctoPrint
- "Release & Candidate": Beside the stable release, you can also see the "release-candidates", like '''0.1.0rc1'''. The rc's include new functionality/bugfixes and are already tested by the community.. so by YOU ;-)
- "Release & Candidate & under Development": Beside stable and rc, you will be informed about development versions. A development version like '''0.2.0.dev5``` could include a new (experimental) feature/bugfixes, but it is not fully tested by the community
Changing between each release is done via the "Software Update section" in the settings.
Hint: "Easy-switching" is possible with OctoPrint-Version 1.8.0 (see OctoPrint#4238). At the meantime you need to uninstall and install the version you like from the selected channel...or stay in one channel ;-)
