Read Parameters from Spoolman into Printer

Open alexr10 opened this issue 8 months ago • 7 comments

Right now the only communication between Klipper/Mainsail and Spoolman is for getting the spool usage data and checking for Filament compatibility.

Now I would appreciate it, if there would be an possibility to get more data from Spoolman for the printing process. Examples would be:

  • Extruder Temp
  • Hotbed Temp
  • Chamber Temp
  • Extrusion Factor

This values above are filament specific and should be the same on each printer. Furthermore, there are some values that are printer and filament specific which somebody might also want to store in Spoolman (especially in an single printer setup):

  • Retraction
  • Pressure Advance

I am now asking if there is a possibility to get the data from the Spoolman API and save it as variables in Klipper (that can be used with macros). Ideally the variables should be updated on every filament change.

Thanks in advance.
