Problem

Manually entering filament data is tedious. 3dfilamentprofiles.com has a community database with temperatures, densities, and more.

Solution

Integrate with 3dfilamentprofiles.com similar to existing SpoolmanDB integration.

Data Source

Data available at: https://github.com/jklewa/filament-profiles-data

Includes:

  • Filament profiles with temps, densities, colors
  • Brand information
  • Material types

Implementation

Similar pattern to spoolman/externaldb.py:

  • Fetch and cache filament profiles
  • Add import button in filament creation (like FilamentImportModal)
  • Auto-fill temps and density when material/vendor selected

Priority

Low - Future enhancement, do after core UX fixes

Partial Implementation Status:

Backend code exists in spoolman/externaldb.py and frontend tab in filament import modal, but we're only fetching sample-filaments.json which contains ~3 test filaments.

Problem: The jklewa/filament-profiles-data GitHub repo only provides sample data. The full dataset requires:

  1. Running their parser.py script against 3dfilamentprofiles.com
  2. Or directly querying their website API

Options to complete:

  1. Host our own copy of the full dataset (generated from their parser)
  2. Query 3dfilamentprofiles.com directly (may need to figure out their API)
  3. Leave as sample-only and document the limitation

Resolution: Code Removed

Why removed:

  1. 3dfilamentprofiles.com has Vercel bot protection that returns 429 (rate limited) for all automated requests
  2. The jklewa/filament-profiles-data GitHub repo only provides sample-filaments.json with ~3 test filaments
  3. SpoolmanDB (which is working) already has 6,957 filaments from major brands including:
    • Polymaker (1,201), Formfutura (1,056), eSun (315), Bambu Lab (269), ELEGOO (97), Prusament (102), Sunlu (85), etc.

Code removed in commit:

  • spoolman/externaldb.py - Removed ExternalSource enum, Filament3DFP model, _transform_3dfp_to_external(), 3dfp sync code
  • client/src/utils/queryExternalDB.ts - Removed ExternalSource enum and source field
  • client/src/components/filamentImportModal.tsx - Removed source filter tabs

Closing as won't fix - SpoolmanDB is comprehensive enough for most users.
