Filament Weighing Station: Never again filament lottery

⚖️ Precision Weighing Station: No more "Filament Lottery"!

Are you also tired of worrying if your filament will last through 95% of a print? Optical estimations or mechanical sensors are often inaccurate. With this weighing station, you can stop guessing!

This model is a stable, universal holder that can be placed directly onto a standard kitchen or precision scale. It securely holds your filament spool to prevent it from rolling away, and allows for gram-accurate measurement of the content.

Why you need this tool:

• Absolute Precision: Determine the remaining amount to the exact gram (instead of just "by approximation").
• Sustainability: Use even the smallest remnants for specific projects instead of throwing them away.
• Security: Only start large prints when you know there's enough material.
• Simplicity: No respooling needed – simply place it on the scale, subtract the tare weight, and you're done.

🛠 How it works:

1. Print the holder and place it on your scale.
2. Press the tare button to zero the weight of the holder.
3. Place your filament spool on the station.
4. Subtract the tare weight (empty weight) of the spool from the result.
   • Formula: Total weight - Spool weight = Remaining filament.

📢 THE COMMUNITY DATABASE (Important!)

Since manufacturers unfortunately use very different spool weights, we as a Maker community are called upon. Let's build a database together!

Please post in the comments:

1. Brand of the filament (e.g., Bambu Lab, Prusa, Sunlu, eSUN).
2. Material of the spool (plastic, cardboard, metal).
3. Content of the full roll (e.g., 1 kg)
4. Weight of the empty spool in grams.

Example: "Bambu Lab Reusable Spool (Plastic): 250g"

Good luck with printing and saving your filament remnants! 🚀
