Less typing.
More printing.

Built by makers who got tired of spreadsheets, sticky notes, and digging through drawers to find that one roll of "the good translucent green." Every feature exists because someone in the forum asked for it.

Add on mobile, print at the desk

Start a batch in the workshop with your phone. Photo-ID a stack of new spools, scan their boxes, or type them in. Every entry syncs to your desktop in seconds — sit down, sheet-print all the labels at once, peel and stick.

How it works

From box to dashboard
in under a minute.

1

Add

Snap a photo, scan a QR, or pick from the catalog. Auto-fills brand, color, density, and recommended settings.

2

Weigh

Drop the spool on the Spool Inspector — or punch in a number. Net weight is calculated against the brand's empty-spool tare.

3

Track

Each weighing logs to a project. Watch a chart of every gram you've extruded, and get alerted before you run out.

Pricing

The app is free. Always.

Optional hardware if you want it. Optional pro features if you run a farm.
