Default machine type tag on uploaded files#575

I don’t know if this is possible, but I run a farm with multiple different machine types and I often print the same thing on all of them. My current workflow is that I slice in the desktop BambuStudio, export the sliced file, and upload.

The upload gets the nozzle, material, and bed tags – which is great. If it also got a machine tag (“P1S” or similar), then I could easily make sure I’m using the right file for the printer. Right now, I just name the files and use the file search, which works fine, or I use custom tags, which is also OK, but automatic tagging is even cooler.

Also, totally understand if this isn’t feasible given the realities of what’s in a gcode file (which I’m unfamiliar with.)

Hi there Mark, i think we already do something quite close to that, as we can associate a list of printers or printer models with each file, although we might only do this automatically when you upload your files to the print queue and not “your files” although both can have them.

Oh interesting; I’ve not really explored the queue, I just hit ‘start a print’ and drop the file there and check the ‘Upload file?’ box. It makes it a really fast workflow. I’ll see if using print queue feels better / addresses this!
