3 ways to add your spool
With or without a chip, your Snapmaker filament goes into your inventory.
- 01
Link the RFID chip
Set the spool on the TigerPOD Mini and link its chip, once, to a spool of your inventory. From then on, setting it down opens its card.
- 02
From the catalogue
The 139 Snapmaker products are already in the app's catalogue: pick yours, and its material, colour and settings come with it.

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.

Snapmaker RFID chip
Nothing is written to your chip
The Snapmaker chip is encrypted. Tiger Studio does not read its content and writes nothing to it: it recognises the chip by its ID. Your spool stays as it came out of the box, and your printer reads it as before.
A TigerQR+ for every Snapmaker spool
Every Snapmaker product in the catalogue has its TigerQR+, on its page. Here is the one for Snapmaker SnapSpeed PLA Red: pick the format of your label printer, print it, stick it on the spool.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add a Snapmaker spool without a chip?

What happens when I set the spool down again?
On the TigerPOD Mini, a linked spool opens straight away. On the TigerScale, its weight updates.
