A filament's true character is in its performance, not just its color. Meet the SpoolSense Swatch Pro & Lite, the most informative filament swatches you will ever print and the foundation of the entire SpoolSense filament management system.
🟦 SpoolSense Swatch Pro: The Smart Swatch
- Features a revolutionary manual slider to indicate the remaining filament on your spool (0–1000 g).
- Displays brand, material, purchase date and color code.
- The swatch is designed to showcase real print finishes:
- the front face is printed face-down on the bed to display bottom surface aesthetics,
- while the back is split into two areas –
- one showing vertical wall quality and
- the other demonstrating top surface finish.
- Embossed text on multiple sides shows how lettering appears on top, bottom, and wall surfaces.
- To print the SpoolSense Swatch, you will have to use Bambu Studio.

🟩 Swatch Lite
A minimal swatch for tricky materials.
- The same outer shape as the PRO, but without the remaining filament slider and its mechanism.
- Ideal for printing in TPU or very stiff CF filled filaments where printing the slider's moving parts isn't practical.
- Same compact size to fit seamlessly into the SpoolSense ecosystem.

🔗 Check out the short video below to see how the SpoolSense Ecosystem brings order to your 3D printing journey:
The SpoolSense 30 Display Box includes built-in measurement gauges for popular spool types and brands (PLA, PETG, ABS/ASA, etc.). Simply measure your spool against the box, set the slider on your Swatch Pro, and store it away. Next time you need that color, the swatch tells you exactly how much filament is left—no guesswork.
The SpoolSense ecosystem also includes:
• SpoolSense 30 Display Box– storage box for 30 swatches with built-in spool gauges
• SpoolSense Solo - AMS Single Swatch Holders – clip swatches directly onto the AMS
• Fuzzy Swatch Set – 30 carefully dialed in swatches demonstrating slicer “fuzzy skin” settings
Build your own filament library with the SpoolSense ecosystem.
