I 3D modeled an NFC tag holder (26mm square and staple shaped), then printed it in each filament. I attached the NFC tag (written per filament brand/type/color, using all the great information from this thread) to the inside left side of the material station bays. In this location, the NFC tags are recognized and updated. This works for all but the left most bay as it has a side wall there. For me, I used that bay for Ultimaker Breakaway filament, so it's not an issue.
Hey @dainon, I don't suppose you have a link (Amazon or otherwise) to the tags you used that you'd be willing to share. I've used a few different I've seen on Amazon and none of them seem to have worked for me. What's more the previously mentioned tags in the thread are no longer available on Amazon😕

@gandy I came across your example scripts for creating and writing spools while trying to write my own tags for some 3rd party spools. I just wanted to say the scripts worked really well! (I ended up

Through troubleshooting with you, It has been discovered that while you are using the most recent version of Cura (v5.3.0), Spoolmaker still requires something (or things) from Cura v5.0.0, or at least some other version of Cura earlier than v5.3.0. I've submitted an issue ticket on GitHub for the issue.

Monroe is right, I had 5.3.0 and 5.2.1 version installed and nothing was opening/showing when clicking...
I just installed the 5.0.0 version and still not working, but at least I have an error window:

@Monroe07. How has the material station clone project gone? Do you have pictures of it?
