@gandy @jomeier No problem, I put the link below. Still had some things I wanted to fix before uploading which are done now. Note it doesn't detect directories automatically for Mac or Linux yet, but can detect Cura for Windows just fine. For Mac/Linux, just give it the file paths. The script should work on a Pi too, but better to use command line for that rather than GUI.

@gandy A cura plugin would definitely make it easier to match up Materials. Looks like Cura has a page dedicated for making plugins that work within Cura I need to read sometime. For now the CuraMaterial.py file can load all installed materials. (in a crude sort of way)
I normally run it from within Visual Studio Code, as double clicking it doesn't always work. I added a resource loader so you can also run pyinstaller to make an exe version if that's easier. Otherwise, the main function allows the creation of a spool by simply filling in the required variables at the bottom of the NFCSpool.py file. (The GUI is launched from the SpoolMaker.py file on the other hand)
I have used it for some PolyWood material so far by winding it onto a depleted Ultimaker spool, and overriding the tag with the correct ID and remaining length. Very useful for knowing if there is enough material left!

Hi,
oh man: Could you share that, please? I'm getting crazy with not knowing how to use the scripts.
Thanks a lot,
Josef
