Cost & weight of print? Where did it go???

Hi! I upgraded to 2,3,0 recently. Previously, after slicing, the weight and cost of the print was shown in the right hand window. Now I can only see how many meters of filament will be used even though I have entered the cost and weight of materials in the Filament Settings section. What have I done wrong?

Thanks!

Iirc correctly you also need the density in the filament. I still get the cost on my 2.3.

Hi Phil....Ah!....Yes! Currently set to 0. Will have to work out that parameter then.

Cheers once more!

Plastic density is almost certainly available via google but the other filament presets should also have suitable values.

That's confusing. I would prefer placeholder in a slicer, saying to fill in filament density instead of googling.
Values thought(density), I copied from Prusa's default profiles.
