Filament Weight tracking when printing from a file on the printer (Bambu P1S Cache)#436

Not sure if the filament weight is tracked when a job is started from the printer itself, and not through the SP interface. Would be cool if you could just assign the spool to the printer, then start a job from the printer screen and have the spool weight tracked.

Filament is only tracked when printing via SimplyPrint. Currently we do not know the filament usage if it’s started any other way than cka our platform.

We’ve focused on making users want to, and making it more convenient to, start prints via SimplyPrint, as even if we can get this one metric, there are 25+ other things we won’t know about the file if it doesn’t go through our server, and you ultimately lose out on a lot of the cool things SimplyPrint has to offer.

We will surely look in to if Bambu gives us the filament usage; we get it from Klipper, so we do, in theory, support this - just not for Bambu.
