Description

This is my version of a scale for the FilaMan project. Its an NFC powered automatic scale for Spoolman. I was going for a clean elegant look, hiding as much of the electronics and cables as possible. Please check the instructions below to choose the correct model version for your parts. There is also a sticker guide available that helps you placing the NFC tags on your spools.

I provide all my models for free, if you want to support my work, you can buy me a coffee!

Required Hardware:

4x Screw M4(M5), 20-25mm long button head (M4/M5 depending on your load cell)
6x Screw 6x M3, 6-13mm long, button head
6x Heatset insert M3x5.5mm, Outer diameter 4.6mm
Remaining hardware as specified in the FilaMan readme

Model Variants:

The load cell as well as the displays that are supported by the FilaMan project can vary in their dimensions. For that reason I provide multiple versions of the files for all the variants that I am aware of. The following information should provide you the needed information to identify the correct version for you. If you still have a different variant you can either change the model yourself using the provided fusion 360 project or I am happy to do the change for you. In that case I only need the mentioned dimensions from you.

Load Cell:

Version	A	B	C	D
LC1	M4	M4	10mm	75mm
LC2	M4	M5	15mm	80mm

Currently I am aware of two different versions of the load cell. You can check the dimensions in the table above. It is important that the other dimensions are the same, as mentioned in the diagram.

Display:

Version	A	B	C	D	E	F
D1	25.0 mm	14.5 mm	22.0 mm	22.0 mm	2.2 mm	3.0 mm
D2	26.7 mm	15.3 mm	23.5 mm	23.7 mm	1.7 mm	2.5 mm
D3	24,9 mm	17.0 mm	20.6 mm	21.6 mm	2.0 mm	2.0 mm
D4	24.8 mm	16.7 mm	21.7 mm	21.9 mm	2.0 mm	3.1 mm
D5	26.7 mm	19.2 mm	22.3 mm	23.8 mm	2.1 mm	2.0 mm
D6	24.8 mm	16.8 mm	20.5 mm	22.8 mm	2.7 mm	3.3 mm
D7	24.8 mm	13.8 mm	20.5 mm	22.8 mm	2.7 mm	3.3 mm
D8	26.7 mm	14.4 mm	23.0 mm	23.7 mm	2.0 mm	1.3 mm

There seems to be a wide variety of displays. Please refer to the table above to identify the version that fits your display. I would recommend to print the display sample for the relevant display version first, before printing the whole model. This is an easy way to check the dimensions first.

Printing advice:

The model is designed for easy and clean printability. The best orientation should be obvious, if in doubt please refer to the provided 3mf project files. I recommend to use support for the screw holes on the upper and bottom part. Additionally you should not generate support for the slit of the upper insert, its very tight and fiddley to remove and not required. For the coloring of the upper part you can either use the provided project files or use the smart-fill feature of your slicer. The text and logos are embedded as edges in the mesh files.

Material considerations:

I printed everything using PLA, I guess this is not the best choice and PETG would be better. Try to prevent using carbon fiber re-enforced materials as this might cause issues with the NFC reader. One user also reported problems using ABS getting decent NFC coverage.

What needs to be printed:

Bottom part - same for all variants
Upper insert - same for all variants
Sensor plug - same for all variants, only needed if you install the TTP233
Upper - the variant matching your load cell
Electronics compartment - the variant matching your display

Changelog:

06.04.2025: Updated electronic compartment to version 33 now including a spot to place the TTP233 sensor for taring the scale and some visual spot on the outside to visualize the correct spot.

25.05.2025: Updated to version 37. Added new display variants 7 and 8. Added info regarding material choices for printing.

Nice and simple. Perfect add on for the filaman scale.

Hello. What is the purpose of these plates? Greetings Adam

Replying to @apunktzett :

I must preface this by saying that I got confused when rating/commenting. My rating actually referred to this model: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1636253-filaman-themed-nfc-tag-with-holder-and-box#profileId-1728592 But since both are from the same maker - it's no big deal :) These plates are for you to also stick an RFID tag on and create a so-called location tag in FilaMan from it. You then weigh the spool first and then place the location tag on the scale. Then FilaMan knows not only the weight but also the location of the spool. You need a separate tag for each location...

Very helpful with spoolman as eco system, these parts here are better than original

@coreyjohnson75

Loving this! Already have it all integrated with HA and my printing processes.

Very nice model. Still some room for improvement, e.g. adding a holder for the HX711. But overall really nice…

@user_1965625637

first-class project and the model also seems to look very good Perhaps someone can help me I've looked everywhere the documentation states that multiple versions are available as there are different variants of the load cells and so on I cannot find the other model variants Am I overlooking something Can someone help me out

Hi if you look at the STL files you will find the different variants For the load cells they are named LC1 and LC2 respectively and for the displays always Dx

i printed the LC2 .3mf but the two screw holes are filled in as it printed it with same color as the text instead of open holes. not sure what happened.

The designer has replied

@harsesis

How did the slicer preview the model? Which slicer are you using?

@Wofl

Boosted

Replying to @harsesis :

Bambu Studio. Pre-slice it shows the holes and modifier or whatever in blue, but sliced the holes are filled in. It looks to be the Support Enforcer-- with it, the holes are filled. Without it, they're open.

(Edited)

@harsesis

Replying to @Wofl :

The enforcer is the issue, I re-uploaded the upper part project files and changed the modifier to a support blocker. Either grab the new file or just change the type of the modifier in your file. Sorry for the inconvenience!
