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