Really cool and easy to use but some ideas

The app itself is incredibly easy to use and full of useful things to help adjust a print, i especially love that you can control it from your phone and that you don’t need to plug in a usb though u have the choice to do so if you so choose, there are a few things I would love to see in the app just to add a few quality of life changes and to make things even easier for users,

1. A system where you can save filaments in the app

for an example, i could input that I have a brand new spool of white PLA filament in my printer and that spool weighs 1kg, and then save that in a tab in the app, the printer could then record how much filament it is extruding or could subtract the weight of the finished print from the mass I had saved to give you an estimated spool weight to give you a rough idea of how much filament you have left on your current spool. Eg, I have a 1kg spool on the printer and it does a print that weight 8 grams, it would take 8 grams off the 1kg to show that I have 992 grams remaining on that spool

you could save multiple spools of different colour and it would only take away mass from the current fillament I have in the machine, you could select what current spool you have before the print (if you have any saved) to keep an easy record of all your different colours and filament types with a rough guide to know when your low on certain filaments

2. A tab that has previous prints saved

A system that records your previous prints on the app so that way you could easily reprint something you have done in the past at the press of a button with the same settings you used the first time around, that way it can save users from having to load in to a splicer every time they want to print something they have already printed before

Those are all the ideas I have and I would love to see them added to add some quality of life for both myself and other users, other than that the app itself is flawless and wonderful to use, I can’t wait to see what the future holds for it
