Hi everyone,

I wanted to share an Android-exclusive app I’ve been developing called SpoolTap. It’s designed specifically for 3D printing hobbyists who want a faster, more reliable way to manage their filament inventory without relying on messy spreadsheets or locked proprietary ecosystems.

💡 What is SpoolTap?

SpoolTap turns your Android phone into an NFC-based filament scanner. Instead of manually typing in weights and material types every time you swap a roll, you can log, update, and check your inventory with a single tap.

✨ Key Features & Benefits

• NFC Scanning for Supported Spools: Directly read and log data from filament manufacturers that already embed NFC tags in their spools.
• Custom NFC Tag Writing: If you use standard third-party spools, you can write and link your own inexpensive NTAG stickers to any spool in your digital inventory.
• Comprehensive Inventory Management: Keep a clear overview of your materials (PLA, PETG, ABS, etc.), exact colors, remaining weights, and manufacturer details.
• Native Android Experience: Built from the ground up to feel fast, modern, and intuitive on Android devices.

🎯 My Feedback Goals

As I continue to refine the app, I am looking for constructive feedback from the community on two specific areas:

1. NFC Compatibility: If you use spools with built-in NFC tags, how does the reading experience feel, and are there specific manufacturer tags you'd like to see better supported?
2. Workflow & UI: Is the process of adding a new spool and updating its remaining weight quick enough for your daily printing workflow?
