Spooly

Introduction to Spooly

Spooly is a smart filament management tool designed for 3D printing enthusiasts who want to keep track of their filament collection with ease. Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional, Spooly helps you organize your filaments, monitor usage, and avoid running out of material mid-print. By connecting to your Bambu Lab Cloud account, Spooly automatically imports print jobs, deducts filament usage, and forecasts when you'll need to reorder. It also offers advanced features like moisture tracking, AI-powered invoice import, and gamification to make the experience more engaging.

Spooly was developed by a solo maker in Vienna with the goal of solving the common problem of filament chaos. It's free to use with no credit card required, and it works with all FDM printers—especially with special integration for Bambu Lab users. With its intuitive interface and powerful features, Spooly simplifies the management of 3D printing materials, helping users focus on what matters most: creating.

How Spooly Works

Spooly allows users to manage their filament collection in one place. By importing data from Bambu Lab Cloud, it tracks how much filament is used per print and provides insights into trends. The app also includes moisture tracking, which alerts users when filaments need to be dried. Additionally, Spooly supports AI-powered photo recognition of spools and generates QR codes for easy scanning during printing. For those looking to upgrade, the Pro version adds advanced features such as project organization, detailed analytics, and business cost breakdowns.
