The S1 Plus tracks filament usage by measuring the exact length of filament that passes through the device. That length is then converted into usage in kilograms using the density of the filament.
To make tracking accurate, users can either:
- Enter the density of the filament they use, or
- Enter the length of their filament rolls
This calculation method is the same approach most slicers use to estimate filament usage. However, the big difference is that the S1 Plus App records true usage—not just estimates.
That means it compensates for everything:
- Half prints
- Failed prints
- Printing in air
- Every meter of filament that runs through the S1
Because it measures actual movement, you’ll always know the real amount of filament consumed—not just what the slicer predicted.
