Once again I printed a PLA sliced file with PETG filament

[taikolito]

Hi, I've just got caught again : different filament types loaded in the MMU2s (1-2 PET, 3-5 PLA), I sliced my model with PLA settings and the 'default extruder', not giving enough attention... Ended up printing PET with a PLA profile -> not good This might even happen to anyone without the MMU hassle

Solution I'd like : could Filament Manager warn me if I'm going to print PLA with a PETG profile?

Describe alternatives you've considered learning python and trying to implement this myself

context filament manager could pre-reads gcode file to find -

• toolchange instructions if any (eg. T0-T4 for prusa MMU)
• corresponding filament type descriptors : inserted in commented gcode by the slicer (1st or last 1000 lines?)
• check vs loaded filament(s) type(s) in Filament Manager

hmmm....to be honest I don't see any benefit of the Profile-Feature in FM, thats the reason why I dropped this in the SpoolManager-Plugin.

But I understand your problem: You want that the sliced information is directly reflected to the spool selection (or at least a confirmation/warning popup).

This feature is already on my "Long-Term backlog for the SpoolManager-Plugin (see https://github.com/OllisGit/OctoPrint-SpoolManager/projects/1#card-42525175).
