Feature Request: Add Open Spool functionality to Open Spool Mobil

[michalsteyn]

Another very interesting idea, which should be very doable, would be to add the Open Spool Functionality to Open Spool Mobile.

This is very useful when using external spools with Bambu. You can add the tag to the spool, then simply use the mobile app to scan the tag, and then update the printer filament selection automatically.

I have an AMS, but also have a number of external spools stored in a dry box, like the popular: https://www.printables.com/model/566364-cereal-container-filament-storage

I would love to simply attach a tag to these containers, use a mobile app to scan the tag, and then load the filament.

Great idea thanks for opening an issue.

Could you elaborate more on the workflow you would open the OpenSpool app touch your phone to a tag and then it would update the AMS settings on the printer is that right?

From a technical perspective, there are a few solutions

1. have the phone connect to the MQTT server. There might be issues when more than four connections are established.

2. would be to use the new bambu connect interface. we would have to to open a feature request with bambu labs to provide an AMS api

3. connect to the bamboo cloud while technically possible with lead keys it gets into a gray area That I'd rather not anger bambu further

My use case is effectively exactly the same as you would expect from the main OpenSpool project. So you can simply imagine the request is to use a Phone in stead of the ESP32 board. But the flow is very similar.

I would have a tag on a spool, or a spool container. Personally, I'm very interested in this for my External Spool usage. I would grab a spool container, scan the tag using my phone which will then set the external filament type on the Printer, and then I'll manually load the filament as usual.

But any of the other use cases typical for the OpenSpool ESP Project should work.

I would say Option 1 is fine for me, but are those questions not also relevant for OpenSpool ESP Project as well?

Option 1 would be great!

I REALLY like this idea.... If implemented, make sure to give it the option to specify which "slot" (external spool, AMS slot 1, AMS slot 2, AMS slot 3, AMS slot 4) This would really be killer for those of us with an AMS, I could just scan the filament in when I load it into the AMS with no other specialty hardware beyond my mobile phone.

i see the workflow as connecting through mqtt interface, select which slot, scan the filament, load the filament in the specified slot.
