SpoolEase Scale - NFC RFID Filament Weight Scale

SpoolEase Web Site: https://www.spoolease.io 

SpoolEase is a smart add-on system for Bambu Lab 3D printers that adds intelligence and control to every filament spool.

It features:

• NFC tags for automatic spool identification
• A complete spool inventory management system - keeping your spools organized
• Precise filament tracking using (1) weight scale, (2) print usage monitoring, and (3) a smart workflow - so you can tell how much filament is available in every spool
• Automatic slot configuration fot material, color, pressure advance (K)
• A Virtual Spool Tag for viewing spool info on your mobile device
• Compatibility with your slicer filament settings
• Serves as backup for your pressure advance settings (for when the printer loses them — and yes, it happens)
• More ...

The system includes two products:

• SpoolEase Console – The main hub with display, handling NFC tag encoding, inventory tracking, printer setup, and AMS filament status. SpoolEase Console works independently and does not require SpoolEase Scale.
• SpoolEase Scale – Measures spool weight and feeds data to the Console. SpoolEase Scale depends on SpoolEase Console to operate.

This model is the case (only the case!) for SpoolEase Scale device described at https://github.com/yanshay/SpoolEase

If you are not familiar with SpoolEase, please see first SpoolEase Console as it is the basis for this add-on.

October 1st Update: Made a few small changes:
1. Cover: Instead of two narrow front buttons, one being mostly for reset, the left (green) button was made wider and the right button was replace with a hole for when it's required. This makes it easier to press the left button w/o accidentally hitting the reset.

2. Base - strengthened the rails for the PN532 and added mounts for zip ties

3. Cover + Base: extended the snaps to connect better (also more difficult to disassemble) to hold together better.

I really recommend you checkout my latest model - a unique filament clip, using a simple rubber band. After not finding a filament clip that fit my requirements I designed my own.  Available at https://makerworld.com/en/models/1369230 .
