Software upgrades sugestions for Mini+
Hello
I'm quite new to the Prusa environment, and I am quite happy with mini+. However, some things are lacking in usability. First of all, the LCD screen turn off function during printing will be a nice addon. Secondly, adding a filament ODO feature for each individual spool of prusament will help a lot (Also adding an filament weight marks on a spools sides will be a beneficial). If Prusa makes an effort to measure precisely filament, why not to use that information? Adding spool profiles where used filament in meters is measured and displayed will help a lot in assuming how much plastic is left on a spool. Finally, we are still waiting for power panic and wifi functions.
What are your suggestions for a new software features? Maybe someone from dev team will read this post and get inspired.
Best regards

A filament ODO feature for each individual spool of prusament will not work if you have multiple printers. I do this by weighing the spool after use and writing it in the table. I get a more accurate data than according to any marks on the side of the spool.

Hello
Yes, if you have multiple printers there is a problem. But most of the users have single machine only.

If you want the devs to see, post an issue on github:
https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy
Before new enhancements, I'd like to see the features promised more than two years ago implemented. Don't get me wrong, I am happy with my Mini, but waiting two years for promised features from a company that is clearly active, developing other products is a long time to wait. They are just starting to work on my issue raised March, 2020, so don't get your hopes up, but github at least does not let issues get forgotten, and issues raised there are not buried in all the forum discussions.
