I think an RFID reader to read BL filaments will be useful.
There are at least two uses:
- Pick the right type and color from the pool of used rolls without inserting them into AMS first.
Most of the time, I don’t label filaments. When I tried to find a certain type and color from a bunch of used spools, I had to make my best guess. Inserting them into AMS and get the reading first would work too but that’s an additional step.
- Filament inventory management
If BL can create an app to go with the handheld device or phone accessory to automatically do the inventory (two modes: stock and unstock), it will make the process easier and more reliable for users who have more than a few rolls.
