The only problem with that being it may match the colour and type, but, the other brand filament will not be tuned/calibrated identically to the Bambu Lab equivalent causing unforeseen issue with speed and temperature differences.
t seems like this: using an additional RFID reader to read custom tags for automatically identifying third-party filaments. And the principles can be seen in this video. https://youtu.be/-q1D9tzvf1Q
I’ve only had my P1S a few weeks and after having to resort to 3rd party filament due to shipping/supply issues, the frustrations of manually entering the filament led me to start searching. Sure enough, someone figured it out.
It’s still early in the development cycle and I had to build my own docker image to add support for my custom filament profiles.
But with that it’s working quite well and I like the Spoolman integration.
As we all know, BL is trying to kill projects like this with their upcoming firmware, so another reason to not update your printer and look for alternatives in the future…
