Filament spool inventory

Track spools on hand and suggest restocks plus jobs that fit what you already have.

How to set it up

  1. List every spool you have: type, color, brand, and grams left (or full/half/almost empty).
  2. Say which printers and nozzle sizes you run.
  3. Ask for a restock list and what you can print this week without buying more.

Copy-paste starter prompt

Works in ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or any agent tool. Replace the parts in brackets.

Here is my filament inventory: [list each spool with type, color, brand, grams left]. Printers: [models]. Suggest: 1) what I should restock first and why, 2) three print jobs that fit what I already have, 3) colors I'm low on that I use often. Do not invent spools I didn't list.

Keep a human in the loop

Weigh or estimate grams yourself. Have the agent mark uncertain quantities instead of guessing.

Who it is for

People in the 3D printing niche who want one job handled by an AI agent without building a platform from scratch.
