Summary

Integrate filament color data from filamentcolors.xyz as an external data source.

Upstream Issue

https://github.com/Donkie/Spoolman/issues/757 (1 👍)

External Resource

https://filamentcolors.xyz/

Problem

Users want access to a comprehensive filament color database when adding new filaments, similar to SpoolmanDB integration.

Investigation Needed

Does filamentcolors.xyz have a public API?
Is the data available in a structured format (JSON, CSV)?
What data fields are available? (brand, color name, hex code, material, etc.)
Licensing/terms of use?

Potential Implementation

If API/data is accessible:

Add as second external DB source (like we attempted with 3dfilamentprofiles)
Sync color data periodically
Allow importing filaments from this source

Notes

We previously removed 3dfilamentprofiles.com integration due to bot protection blocking automated requests. Need to verify filamentcolors.xyz is accessible before implementing.
