Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/issues/663

Originally assigned to: @maziggy on GitHub.

Problem or Use Case

Use case: multiple users are printing via a queue to several printers. The printers are located in another room/building.

Once a print job has finished, the printer goes into a 'ready' state.

If a user does not check the printer to see if there are any existing prints, they can easily start a new print, but the finished print will still be waiting in the printer to be collected.

Proposed Solution

Ideally, the printer would have a 'ready for pick-up' state, and the user would have to inform BamBuddy via the GUI that the part has been picked up, allowing the printer to print the next part.

Alternatives Considered

No response

Feature Category

OK, we ran a test and found that the clear-plate state is triggered when a new item enters the queue.
That's why we missed this feature (for testing there was only 1 item in our queue).

It would be great if the clear plate was triggered even when the queue is empty. So one user can pick up the item, set the clear-plate and the next user (maybe a few hours later) can start printing directly.

I think it should be on the person sending the print to confirm the printer is ready and not the previous print job. Things can change. We've had build plates removed after a print was completed.
