Manually selecting a filament type in Automaker (when using generic, non-smart reels) is a scrolling nightmare. Currently there are 57 default entries, and with every new material you are adding, you are adding up to 10 or 15 to that list. I can see the Filament selector containing 150 list entries in 2 years. I find it already challenging to quickly pick the current material.
The solution to this problem is terribly simple: Have one pop-up list selector for the material type (Robox PLA, Robox ABS, XT, nGen, etc.) and a second one below for the available colors of the selected filament. Two clicks, yet much faster and user-friendly than your current design.
Alternatively to the second pop-up selector, one could have one or multiple rows of colored circles for direct color selection (rollover tool-tip reveals color name).
