About

Filamuze

Features

Your Bambu AMS only sees branded spools. Filamuze sees everything else. Sunlu, eSun, Polymaker, that AliExpress roll you picked up last month — they have no RFID tag. Your AMS has no idea they exist. Filamuze is where you track them: weight remaining, drybox status, print temps, reorder history, all in one place. You're not replacing your AMS. You're filling the gap it leaves. What Filamuze does • Inventory at a glance — see every spool on your shelf, weight remaining, and a red "running low" badge under 100 g. Sorted by material, color, or last used. • Log usage after each print — weigh the spool, enter the new weight. Or just enter how many grams you consumed (grab it from the slicer). Filamuze converts to meters automatically. • Reusable spools + refill catalog — 60+ brand empty-spool weights built in (Bambu, Prusament, Polymaker, Sunlu, eSun, and more). Register your reusable spools, link refills to them. The app does the empty-weight math so your remaining filament is always accurate. • Drybox tracking — mark any spool as dried, log the temp and hours, see days since last dry per spool. No more guessing. • NFC + QR pairing — stick an NFC tag on a spool, tap your phone, jump straight to that spool's detail. QR works too. • AI label scan — photograph the label, Filamuze fills in the form for you. • Filament database — 250+ products from 53 brands with preset temperatures. Pick from the list and stop typing brands manually. • 21 material reference cards — PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, PC, Nylon, and all the composites (PLA-CF, PETG-CF, PA-CF, ASA-CF, and more). Best-for, watch-out, nozzle and bed temps, difficulty level. • Project cost accounting — filament + electricity + printer amortisation + platform fee. Know your real cost per print before pricing it on Etsy. • Edit anything inline — tap any field on a spool's detail screen to edit it. No separate edit mode. • Restock tracking — add a new purchase of the same product and Filamuze links them as a stack. Full purchase history per product. • Basic / Advanced view — beginners see the essentials. Advanced users toggle on to reveal temps, densities, and everything else. • Spoolman import — already using Spoolman? Import your existing data with one file pick. Works with any printer, any brand Bambu, Prusa, Creality, Anycubic, Ender, Voron — Filamuze doesn't care. It works with every spool regardless of whether there's an RFID tag on it. Free up to 20 spools No subscription required to get started. Most hobbyists never hit the limit. 5 languages: English, Russian, Hebrew (RTL), German, French Full RTL support for Hebrew. All strings localized — not just the UI chrome. Dark-only design. No ads. No tracking. Made by Qaizo Studio — a one-person indie shop that actually prints things.
