Tacking the Real World
Managing 150 black PLA spools that all look identical is a nightmare for a busy print farm.
QR Code Generation
When you click on any spool in your Filament tab, SoLoPrint natively generates a unique SVG QR Code tied explicitly to that database ID.
- Use a standard Brother/Dymo label printer or Avery sticker sheet to print the generated code.
- Slap the QR Code onto the physical cardboard rim of the spool.
Mobile Scanning
When standing in your print farm holding a random spool of black PLA with your sticker on it, simply open the native camera app on your smartphone and scan the code.
The link will immediately open the SoLoPrint mobile dashboard to that spool's exact detail page, displaying its precise remaining weight, assigned printer, and material history.
