Hmm, seems like a decent idea. Definitely better than closed tag systems.

Definitely! Mostly looking forward to see how/if other printers (especially Klipper) will support it

For an open source system I think it's mainly just a matter of when. Granted there are currently complaints with the licensing for the system, so that might hurt/kill traction.

I mean it's fairly new and the maintainer seems to be open for a license change.

Support in Klipper sounds amazing. There could be open repositories of printing parameters. Not 100% sure how Klipper would pass the info to the slicer but that seems solvable.

I've not user Klipper in a long while, but would it not suffice if Klipper knew 'Spool has 100m Filament left, print says it takes 110m, throw an error/require user confirmation to continue '?
