Import Files by Slicer
Best results come from plain text GCODE. 3MF support depends on slicer metadata structure.
Important
Importer should not auto-create spools. Always review requirement matches before save.
Recommended Flow
- Slice and export plain
.gcode. - Drag and drop into Print Usage capture area.
- Review parsed details and filament requirements.
- Resolve missing items via shopping/manual actions.
- Save usage records.
Slicer Export Notes
Bambu Studio
If a shortcut export path skips save dialog, use top-left File -> Export.
Other slicers
Use standard plain GCODE export from PrusaSlicer/Cura/Orca/SuperSlicer/Simplify3D.
Parser Coverage
| Field | Typical support | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Filament used (g/m) | High | Primary metric for usage logs |
| Material/color hints | Medium-High | Depends on slicer metadata richness |
| Temps/layer height | Medium | Can be found or estimated |
| Print duration hints | Medium | May differ by slicer profile |
Bambu Price List + Availability
Shopping and Preset Catalog use the active Bambu market files from data/bambu/market/price-list-active.json and data/bambu/market/stock-active.json when brand is Bambu Lab.
- Resolver checks region from your current currency/locale settings.
- Series is inferred from material/color text (for example PLA Basic, PLA Matte, PLA Tough+).
- Availability rules are enforced from catalog fields:
withSpoolLimitedToColors,withSpoolUnavailableColors,refillLimitedToColors, andrefill: null. - Rows also include sync freshness context so stale snapshots are clearly flagged.
What You Will See
- Available: item can be purchased in selected package type for current region snapshot.
- Sold out: package is listed for the colour but currently out of stock.
- Not listed: colour/package combination is not currently listed in that region.
- Unknown: no confident status could be resolved.
- Stale: snapshot is older than freshness threshold and should be re-synced.
