Brand's spool tags (NFC) Whether its multi-material unit can recognise any filament Closed: the maker's own spools Bambu Lab's tags are encrypted: only Bambu Lab's own spools are recognised automatically. SimplyPrint reads them through the printer. How it works Closed: the maker's own spools SimplyPrint reads Snapmaker's spool tags through the printer, but can't write them. Open: tags for any filament SimplyPrint reads ELEGOO's spool tags and writes them for any filament, so every brand works like ELEGOO's own. How it works
