Under the \"<a href=\"https:\/\/simplyprint.io\/panel\/settings#filament\"><em>Filament settings<\/em><\/a>\" you can now modify the standard filament types\/materials or create your own!<br><br>These filament types are used when adding new filament and when anything temperature-related is happening, like \"<em>Bed leveling<\/em>\", \"<em>Change filament<\/em>\", \"<em>Preheat<\/em>\"!<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\"<em>Statistics<\/em>\" page rework!<br><\/strong>The <em><a href=\"https:\/\/simplyprint.io\/panel\/statistics\">statistics page<\/a> <\/em>has gotten a complete rework, so it's now super useful for following your 3D-printing habits, seeing how much filament you've used and get statistics per. printer!<br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"565\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.simplyprint.dk\/news\/294494f392f0909dd192fde9e0a4d347bbc31bb9.png\"><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Filament sensor support<br><\/strong>Got a filament sensor? It can now work with SimplyPrint! Many printers ship with a filament sensor, and in many cases you can simply plug it out of your printer, and into your Raspberry Pi. We have a guide for this coming very soon! We are also working on creating our own filament sensors, which we plan to properly announce shortly!<br><br>This means that SimplyPrint will always know whether your printer actually has filament or not. Your print will pause if the filament runs out, and you will get a notification!<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The \"<em>Preheat<\/em>\" button<\/strong> has gotten a little side-button that allows you to only heat the hotend or bed, and also heat the any of your filament types<strong><br><br><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>BIG Raspberry Pi system &amp; OctoPrint plugin update<br><\/strong>This one is a bit nerdy, but we've made\u00a0<em>a lot<\/em> of changes to the software that we have running on your Raspberry Pi, as well as our OctoPrint plugin. A lot of this is bug fixes and general improvements, but in the end it results in a better user experience - especially for newer users in setup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Coming soon;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Full slicer integration<br><\/strong>We have been hard at work the past couple of months to improve our slicer, and we feel we'll soon be ready to release a slicer that we would personally use! This means the slicer will be integrated properly all across the platform; when starting a print, if you upload an STL file, you can go directly to slicing and start the print instantly. You'll be able to print directly from \"<em>Your files<\/em>\" and from the slicer tab. We're really looking forward to this one!<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>OctoPrint updates directly in SimplyPrint!<\/strong><br><em>Very soon<\/em> it will be possible to update OctoPrint itself as well as any plugins you have installed, directly via. the SimplyPrint panel - soon there will also be a setting to update everything automatically, so stay tuned for that!<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you made it to the end, we just want to thank you for all your continued support while we develop the platform!
