Spoolman
Filament spool inventory and tracking for 3D printing
Spoolman is a lightweight web application for managing 3D printing filament spools and related metadata (material, color, vendor, cost, and remaining weight/length). It’s commonly used alongside Klipper/Moonraker setups to keep an accurate inventory and track consumption over time.
Key Features
- Spool inventory management (add/edit spools with material/color/vendor and notes)
- Track remaining filament (e.g., by weight) and spool status/visibility
- Manage reference data such as materials, manufacturers/vendors, and spool profiles
- Web UI for browsing, filtering, and maintaining your filament library
- HTTP API for integration/automation with external tools (e.g., print workflow tooling)
- Container-friendly deployment (commonly run via Docker/Docker Compose)
Use Cases
- Maintain a central filament inventory for one or multiple printers
- Track filament usage to avoid mid-print runouts and plan reorders
- Standardize materials/profiles across a print farm or shared workshop
Spoolman is a practical companion service for makers who want structured filament data and an accessible UI/API to connect inventory with their 3D printing workflow.
