Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

Printing a project that uses different filaments, that need different speeds/temperatures (e.g. Stone PLA and Silk PLA), takes extra steps because the filament setting needs to be changed, and the project/plate(s) need to be re-sliced before printing.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Allowing filament to be set on a per-plate basis would be helpful. This way, all plates in a project could be kept together, all the items printed in each filament could be printed on one plate, and you would not have to edit the filament setting and re-slice if each plate needs a different temperature, max speed, etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Set the filament for the first plate.
Print the first plate.
Set the filament for the second plate.
Print the second plate.
Repeat Steps 1 & 2, for each additional filament
Start all over again at Step 1, the next time you chose to print the project
