FR: In-built spool manager about mainsail HOT 5 CLOSED

We already support spoolman: https://github.com/Donkie/Spoolman
since update 2.8 why should we add another spool manager?

from mainsail.

Havent checked spoolman integration yet, seems to require some thinkering to get it going.. Does it enable the spool change without runout sensor or time for spool change?

from mainsail.

you can either install the docker container or use the standalone version. the installation of both is pretty straightforward.
When starting a print over mainsail. you get a warning when the wrong material is selected or the remaining filamant is not enough.
this wont replace your runout sensor if the spool runs out during a print.

Ok I'll need to check out the Spoolman. Would it be possible to implement the filament change procedure to Spoolman plugin?

from mainsail.

you can change the selected spool any time during a print and there a macros which can do this automated for you.
if you need further help with the setup. feel free to open a discussions post or join our discord. there is a spoolman channel with the maintainer present.
