Printers for KiwiFil PLA
PLA is a basic material practically every 3D printer prints: 747 of the 747 printers in our catalog print it well. Below are the ones SimplyPrint users print with most.
KiwiFil PLA in an AMS, CFS or ACE Pro, and its NFC tag
In a multi-material unit
PLA is the kind of filament multi-material units are made for.
The Open Filament Database doesn't record the spool's size or whether it is cardboard yet: check that it fits your unit.
NFC and RFID tags
KiwiFil puts no tag on its spools that we know of. SimplyPrint writes one for the system you use, so the spool works like the system maker's own:
OpenPrintTag: SimplyPrint writes a tag for this spool, so Prusa printers read it like their own.
QidiTech: SimplyPrint writes a tag for this spool, so QIDI printers read it like their own.
OpenSpool: SimplyPrint writes an open OpenSpool tag, which any OpenSpool reader can read.
OpenTag: SimplyPrint writes an open OpenTag tag, which any OpenTag reader can read.
Creality CFS: SimplyPrint writes a tag for this spool, so Creality printers read it like their own.
Anycubic ACE: SimplyPrint writes a tag for this spool, so Anycubic printers read it like their own.
ELEGOO Canvas: SimplyPrint writes a tag for this spool, so ELEGOO printers read it like their own.
TigerTag: SimplyPrint writes an open TigerTag tag, which any TigerTag reader can read.
Bambu Lab and Snapmaker U1 tags are signed by the printer maker, so we can't write them, but we can write the others. On those printers, SimplyPrint keeps track of the spool instead.
