Hey everyone,
I wanted to have a nice (optimaly visual) log of all my prints i did with cost idealy like this:
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/blueprint-bambu-lab-3d-printer-cost-notification-telegram-bambu-hacs/934966

The difference is that I don’t want to use an external bot — I’d like the log to stay inside my HA dashboard as a local visual history.
What approach would you recommend for building something like this?
Is a text input helper a reasonable option, or is there a cleaner/more native way to store multiple print entries with images and show them in a dashboard-friendly layout?

Thanks in adwance!

Well jeah, but where can I write the logs? Like us there some kind of utility for that in Homeassistant?

Like I could set the state of something I suppose but is there a better option?
