I've been 3D printing for a while now, and managing filament spools has always been a bit of a nightmare. Keeping track of colors, materials, leftover amounts, and which spool I used for which print was a hassle—until I found this app.
Spoolstock has completely changed the way I organize my filament inventory. I’ve immediately started using their label printing feature to tag my spools properly. One of my favorite features is how seamlessly I can use my iPhone to scan a spool when it’s depleted, making it easy to update my inventory on the fly.
The ability to scan QR codes and instantly pull up spool details has made my workflow so much smoother. I used to manually weigh spools to estimate remaining filament, but this app's built-in database with updated weights takes care of that for me. Now, I can confidently start a print without worrying if I have enough material left.
The low filament alerts are a game-changer—if I’m running low on a specific color, Spoolstock not only notifies me but also provides a direct link to an online store to purchase refills. This has saved me from last-minute supply shortages multiple times!
The cloud syncing feature is another huge plus. Whether I’m on my computer or my phone, my inventory is always up to date. I also track print times and costs, helping me better understand my usage and optimize my workflow.
While Spoolstock is already incredibly useful, I love that the developers are continuously improving it. They listen to feedback and are actively making it better. There are a few small things I’d love to see improved (like slightly more intuitive navigation in certain areas), but overall, this app has become an essential tool for my 3D printing workflow.
If you’re into 3D printing and tired of manually tracking your filament, I highly recommend giving this app a try. It has saved me time, reduced waste, and made my setup way more efficient.
