Feature Request - Infobox for personal Information to currently loaded filaments/installed steel sheet, etc
We are using two Prusa XL in our Design team and often start prints from home so we cannot see what color of filament is laoded or what stell sheet is installed.
Maybe some kind of info box could be added to every printer in prusa connect to add information manually, that is not tracked be the printer or the slicer but might be of interest for planning print jobs without being near the printers.

Would Webcams help?
I try to make safe suggestions,You should understand the context and ensure you are happy that they are safe before attempting to apply my suggestions, what you do, is YOUR responsibility.Location Halifax UK

We will install webcams for sure, but sometimes filament with similar but jet different colors might not be distinguishable on cam. Same might be the case with satin sheet vs. textured sheet.
Are you printing from a drybox?
If not this habit is a mistake. Leaving a printer loaded but not printing is a recipe for stringing and other humidity problems. For good quality prints you need to load the printer and start printing immediately so there is a better chance of using up the outer layers of filament before they absorb too much moisture and reduce the output quality.
Cheerio,

You can abuse the Settings Location for that. It'll then neatly show the info on the main page of the printer like here:

@teachtheprints, that's a good workaround! Thanks for the input. Even though I added the actual location that's a better way to use the location settings as all our printers are located in the same room.
