How do you guys manage your prints.
I downloaded a thing off thingiverse and it has 20 or so components.
I completely erased my print que in mattercontrol and loaded all the stls.
I have sliced 3 parts that are printing now. Some of the parts take a long time and i usually end up forgetting which part i have to print next. Mattercontrol has likes to arrange parts alphabetically but i prefer not to print themn in that order as i usually start a long print while leaving the house.
i have tried numbering the gcode files as 1 2 3 4.... but as some of these projects take multipe days, my limited mental capacity loses track around the 7th print. I suppose i could use a pen and paper but... in this day and age prefer not to.
So how are you guys managing multicomponent prints?
Oh, and i print exclusively off the sd card. Today i installed octoprint on a beaglebone black, but i did not like it that much. I would prefer something directly linked to mattercontrol or the sd card linked to dropbox.

When on mobile I am brief and may be perceived as an arsl.

Re: how do you manage your prints
I use a sticky note and cross out the filenames I was happy with when the print came off.
