This folder contains a pre-generated materials.json file that is compatible with Spoolman, a popular filament database and spool tracking system for 3D printing.
We've generated this JSON file to help Spoolman users quickly import a curated list of 3D printing materials from the TigerTag project. This dataset includes standardized material definitions based on our open-source NFC (RFID-compatible) protocol for 3D printing spools.
You can also access the live and always up-to-date version of the materials list directly from our public REST API:
- 🔄 Live JSON endpoint: https://api.tigertag.io/api:tigertag/SpoolmanDB/materials
- 📘 API Documentation (Swagger): https://api.tigertag.io/api:tigertag
The TigerTag API is:
- ✅ Free to use
- ✅ Unlimited access
- ✅ Anonymous (no login required)
- ✅ Agnostic (usable with any system, app, or backend)
If you're using Spoolman and want to import our materials database:
-
Download the JSON file from the following link:
👉 materials.json (raw GitHub) -
In your Spoolman interface, navigate to the materials section and look for an import option.
-
Upload the downloaded JSON file.
Note: We're not developers of Spoolman ourselves, so please refer to their official documentation if you're unsure about the import process.
TigerTag is an open-source protocol for embedding NFC/RFID data into 3D printing workflows. Learn more at TigerTag.io.
