Want to add material to list of materials for filament loading.
On my MK4 I need to do some printing in Fiberlogy PCGT. The material is supported by PrusaSlicer but it is not on the list of materials I can choose in the filament lading process. I make do with choosing ABS, which has a hotend temperature within the range specified by Fiberlogy. When I start the print the printer rightly complains the material specified in the BGCODE (PCGT) does not match the material specified in the last filament load (ABS). I can tell it to shut up, of course, but it is really annoying the gamma of materials presented in PrusaSlicer, with appropriate hotend and bed temperatures, can not be carried to the printer.
I suggest some way of transporting that info is devised. One way I can think of is adding a choice 'Add material to list' when a .BGCODE file with material other than those on the list is loaded for printing.
Preferably there would be also a way to weed un-used definitions (under the filamen menu), and a way to reset the list to factory default, that is, as it is now.
RE: Want to add material to list of materials for filament loading.
This is a user to user forum. Any feature requests or bug reports need to be made at the appropriate github project. For the Mk4 that uses the buddy board that would located here https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues The devs rarely hang out here so posting requests here is pointless unless it is to put together a coherent request with input from several users before submitting it.
However there are requests already. For example one request to add pctg https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/issues but there is also an existing pull request for a custom filament option https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/pull/3657

Thanks. I did not know this github existed. Much better route indeed.
I logged in and added a comment to issue 3657. It may not be visible yet because in that git I am a newbie under moderation. 😋
