Happy to update - SpoolEase initial support for OpenPrintTag

[yanshay]

I hope you don't mind me posting this here but wanted to share that OpenPrintTag is now supported by SpoolEase.

I wanted to be the first to integrate OpenPrintTag into a product? Did I make it? 😄

It's a basic integration right now but very useful once tagged spools are available for purchase. Or if tags arrive from somewhere else.

When a new spool with tag is scanned, the flow in the images below begin and takes the user through the steps to import the data and link the tag. From there on they have all the features of SpoolEase - inventory management, weight tracking, Bambu Lab printer AMS and external slots configuration, and more.

In case information is missing, it is recorded in the Note field so the user is aware of that and knows to complete the missing information later on.

Every later scan of the tag identifies the spool for the various features.

There's still room for enhancements such as better identification of slicer filament based on the tag information - currently it matches only against the base slicer filaments, I'd like to try to match with custom filaments, but will need to see many real tags to see how vendors fill in the information for that for proper matching.

If I'll see requests to write weight information back to the tag I can add that as well. And my guess users will have ideas of their own of what can be added.

Anyway, here are a few images:

So, Bambulab has OpenPrintTag support sooner than Prusa? Hah, this will be a PR hell :D

Oh, so I beat Prusa to implement their own standard? I deserve a prize for that! Always wanted to support Prusa CORE One L INDX with SpoolEase, only miss the printer, got the hint? 🤣

Do it @josefprusa, he is a good guy...you won't regret it....

Wait, I might regret it if he spends all of his time improving your products instead of my BBL printer... never mind, unless you want to send me a CORE One L INDX as well. 😄

Moving discussion here -

@lukas-brzak-prusa I just pushed an update to SpoolEase Console source.

The core parsing of OpenPrintTag is in the 2nd half of the file (after Bambu Lab tag parsing): https://github.com/yanshay/SpoolEase/blob/main/core/src/tag_standards.rs

It's pretty simple since I only read, and only the key fields.

Although the tag scanner for Spoolease doesn't recognize the NFC chip on the current Prusa spools, it was pretty easy to use my phone to copy the data onto a ntag215 and got everything loading up fine on Spoolease. Just a few extra steps for now...
