Description

FilamentSwatches is an app that allows you to manage and store your different 3D Printing filament colors.
In addition, you can use the app on iPhones with an NFC chip to read from and write the swatches to NDEF-compliant NFC tags that you can then stick onto your physical printed filament samples.
This allows you to form a digital link between your physical samples and information about the filament that was used to print them.

The app encodes the filament information as a URL that is saved onto the NFC tag. This way, any NFC reader can be used to view the information saved on the tag.

Personally, I use the app together with 25mm NTAG215 black NFC tags that I stick on 3D printed mini filament spools.

Nice app. Just what I was looking for. A few suggestions.

A few suggestions to make this app even more useful.
1. Give an option to search
2. Give option to group by color/brand or any attribute.
3. Would be great to have an option to add custom attributes to filament. If that is too complicated, having a “notes” attribute will do for now.
4. Make this app open source if not already so others can contribute. I know iOS too :).
5. Add iCloud syncing so swatches are stored across all my devices.
6. Give option to export everything to an excel/svg sheet. Import option would be a bonus too.
7. You made this app very good, please add more functionalities. Having some form of discord server will help share more info.

Hi,

thank you for your detailed response.
I will see when I have the time to implement those.
Regarding the source code, it is already available on my GitHub under https://github.com/iComputerfreak/FilamentSwatchesApp.

Feel free to open a pull request if you want to contribute :)
Keep in minid though, that I started this app when I was still a student so there is no real architecture behind it right now.

I am not sure if a Discord server for only us two would make sense at this point, but if you are interested in contributing, feel free to reach out to me at dev@jonasfrey.de and we can exchange Discord usernames :)

Kind regards
Jonas
