Summary

Allow color, price, and weight to be set on individual spools, optionally overriding filament defaults.

Upstream Issues

https://github.com/Donkie/Spoolman/issues/473 (3 thumbs up) - Color on spool
https://github.com/Donkie/Spoolman/issues/292 (2 thumbs up) - Price/weight on spool

Problem

Current model: Color, price, net weight are on Filament. Each variant requires a separate Filament entry.

Example of current mess:

Prusament PETG Orange 1kg
Prusament PETG Orange 2kg
Prusament PETG Jet Black 1kg
(repeat for every color AND size...)

But print parameters (temps, PA, flow) are the SAME!

Proposed Solution

Spool-Level Override Fields

class Spool(Base):
    # existing fields...
    color_hex: Optional[str]  # override filament color
    price: Optional[float]  # override filament price
    initial_weight: Optional[float]  # override filament net weight

    @property
    def effective_color(self):
        return self.color_hex or self.filament.color_hex
    
    @property
    def effective_price(self):
        return self.price or self.filament.price

Benefits

One "Prusament PETG" filament with shared settings
Add spools of any color/size without duplicating filament
Easier calibration maintenance (update once, applies to all)
Buy 1kg and 2kg spools of same filament

UI Changes

Spool create/edit: optional color picker, price, weight fields
Default to filament values, clear to override
Show effective values in lists
Indicate when value is overridden vs inherited
