# FilaMan - Filament Management System
A comprehensive filament management system combining ESP32-based hardware for weight measurement and NFC tag reading/writing with a web interface for managing filament spools in conjunction with Bambu Lab AMS and Spoolman.
## Project Overview
FilaMan is designed to streamline the management of filament spools for 3D printing. The system consists of an ESP32 microcontroller that handles weight measurement and NFC tag operations, and a web interface that allows users to manage filament spools, monitor AMS (Automatic Material System) status, and interact with Spoolman and Bambu Lab printers.
FilaMan is a filament management system for 3D printing. It uses ESP32 hardware for weight measurement and NFC tag management.
Users can manage filament spools, monitor the status of the Automatic Material System (AMS) and make settings via a web interface.
The system integrates seamlessly with [Bambulab](https://bambulab.com/en-us) 3D printers and [Spoolman](https://github.com/Donkie/Spoolman) filament management as well as the [Openspool](https://github.com/spuder/OpenSpool) NFC-TAG format.
