FlashForge filament in Tiger Studio Manager 2
Manage your FlashForge filament in your inventory: from the catalogue, the box's barcode or a TigerTag chip you add yourself.
Free desktop app
3 ways to add your spool
With or without a chip, your FlashForge filament goes into your inventory.
- 01
From the catalogue
The 132 FlashForge products are already in the app's catalogue: pick yours, and its material, colour and settings come with it.
FlashForge catalogue → - 02
Barcode and TigerQR+
Scan the box's barcode: the catalogue finds the exact product. Then print the spool's TigerQR+: scanning it opens the spool.
TigerQR → - 03
Your own TigerTag chip
Stick a blank NTAG 213, 215 or 216 chip on the spool and write the FlashForge product on it: from then on, setting it on the TigerPOD Mini opens its card.

TigerTag on your FlashForge spools
Make it automatic
Stick a TigerTag chip on your FlashForge spools: set on the TigerPOD Mini, the spool opens; on the TigerScale, its weight updates; with the TigerSpool, it fills a slot of your printer.
A TigerQR+ for every FlashForge spool
Every FlashForge product in the catalogue has its TigerQR+, on its page. Here is the one for Flashforge HS PLA Neon Orange: pick the format of your label printer, print it, stick it on the spool.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a chip for my FlashForge spools?
No. The catalogue, the box's barcode and a TigerQR+ are enough. A TigerTag chip of your own makes it automatic: the TigerPOD Mini opens the spool, the TigerScale updates its weight.
Which chip should I buy?
Any blank NTAG 213, 215 or 216, a few cents online. TigerTag chips are on the TigerTag shop, but any NTAG works.
Can I reuse the chip of an empty spool?
Yes. A TigerTag chip is rewritable: erase it, write the new spool's product on it with Tiger Studio Manager 2 or Tiger NFC Connect, and stick it on.
What does the chip hold?
The spool's product: brand, material, colour, diameter, weight and print temperatures, in the open TigerTag format. Any NFC phone reads it.
Is Tiger Studio Manager 2 free?
Yes. It is a free desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Free. No subscription. Works offline. Nothing locked in.
