Spool Weight

Spool Weight Glossary

Label Weight
The weight printed on the spool's label, typically indicating the nominal filament weight without including the spool itself.

Empty Weight
The weight of the spool alone, without any filament. Useful for calculating remaining filament.

Full Weight
The total weight of the spool when it is full of filament, including the spool itself.

Gross Weight
The current combined weight of the spool and filament, as measured on the scale.

Used Weight
The amount of filament that has been used from the spool so far, either through printing or removed/broken/cut in any way.

Net Weight
The weight of the filament alone, excluding the spool. Calculated as Gross Weight minus Empty Weight.

Printed Since Added
The amount of filament used for printing since the spool was first added to the inventory, tracked via printer activity.

Printed Since Weighted
The amount of filament used for printing since the last time the spool was weighed on the scale.

Consumed Since Load (to AMS)
The amount of filament used since the spool was loaded into the AMS (Automatic Material System).
