If Statement based on type of filament loaded via spoolman

[astral jasper]

I would like to set up an if statement in my start g code based on filament loaded. Basically I want to do a purge line if I have TPU loaded, and use my blobifier if anything else is loaded. Anyone know how to do this? Some cursory google searches didn't seem to have any good answers

Hi! I'd achieve that in another way. The filament profile, in the slicer, provides space for custom G-code. I'd add the routine you mention into that section, after the PRINT_START macro call. I'm using SuperSlicer, but I guess all slicers allow custom g-code per filament profile. Would that something like this work for you?

I wrote Kbobine to achieve this kind of task. (basically, Kbobine is a "filament profile table in printer")
I runs around a Moonraker extension spoolman_ext.py which can inform klipper about spool datas (type, vendor, name , ... ) . I can write up a user case, if you clearly explicit your goal.

oh this is nifty thanks! I think its exactly what I need.
Basically I want to have a variable print start. I have blobifier but it extrudes too fast and causes TPU jams if I use it so I want in print start something like
If TPU
Purge_line
Else
Blobifier
