Summary

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

Upstream Issue

External Resource

Problem

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

Investigation Needed

  1. Does filamentcolors.xyz have a public API?
  2. Is the data available in a structured format (JSON, CSV)?
  3. What data fields are available? (brand, color name, hex code, material, etc.)
  4. 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.
