Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/maziggy/bambuddy/issues/712

Originally assigned to: @maziggy on GitHub.

Problem or Use Case

Would be handy on the archives page, for each of the print. A usage vs total amount.
Say if I print a 65g file and it fails at 10g have a 10/65g line

Proposed Solution

Add a total amount of used filament next to the total amount.

Alternatives Considered

No response

Feature Category

Nice to have

So this print failed about 95% of the way in, it would be nice to know that it used say 58g of filament of 61g.

From my point of view this should not go to the archive card, but to the print log view.

Not sure this would actually play as intended. The Archive card pulls the (projected) filament usage from the 3mf file. Actual filament usage is tracked separately and deducted from the assigned spool as it is printing. Incomplete prints are handled correctly there.

What would be the benefit of knowing how much filament has been used in the UI? The vast majority of entries will show 65/65g. This is both cluttering the (already crowded) interface and not helpful, as the only useful metric here is "how much is left on the spool".

I agree. See my last comment. We could just add it to the print log view.

Log currently doesn't show filament usage at all. That would be worth adding.

But my doubts regarding its usefulness remain: what's the point of having a long list of 65/65g just for a few items to show 51/65g when the tag is already "failed"?
