SpoolBuddy information
What is SpoolBuddy?
SpoolBuddy is an optional companion hardware add-on that brings NFC-powered spool management to your Bambuddy setup. Using a Raspberry Pi and an NFC reader, you can tag your filament spools with NFC stickers and instantly identify them by tapping.
SpoolBuddy connects a Raspberry Pi with an NFC reader to your Bambuddy instance, enabling:
Instant spool identification — Tap a spool to pull up its details. NFC tag writing — Write spool data to NFC stickers for easy tracking. Inventory sync — Spool data syncs with your Bambuddy inventory automatically. Spool weight tracking — Tracks live spool weight from the connected scale. Quick menu — Swipe down from the top edge to toggle printer power via smart plugs and manage the device (restart, reboot, shutdown). Fully local — Runs entirely on your network, no cloud required.
