Multi-Project Filament Planner

Reserve compatible spools across projects without deducting stock until completion.

Project details

Material requirement per item

Editing releases all existing reservations so you can review and allocate the revised needs.

Projects and reservations

Demand and purchase shortages

Unallocated demand is reduced by compatible free stock to calculate the aggregate purchase shortage. Separate jobs or planned spool changes may still be necessary.

Calculation method

Available grams = physical remaining grams − active reservations. Requirement = per-item grams × project quantity. Unallocated demand = requirement − allocated grams. Aggregate purchase shortage = max(0, unallocated demand − compatible free stock).

How to use this tool

Add one or more material requirements, then allocate compatible material and color. Partial allocations are allowed. A gap is unallocated demand, which may still be covered by free stock. Separate allocations across spools require a practical spool change or separate print jobs. Editing releases reservations; cancellation preserves the audit history. Completion asks for actual use per allocation.
