Started putting QR Codes on my filament so I know how old it is and what brand / color / buy link

Is that actually easier than a small slip with all that info attached to it instead? Genuinely don’t know

- Suppose it is easier if your rolls don't have space to write all that stuff. The buy link is nice, but seems like it's just front loading that work and asking for a stale link.
  
  Otherwise, it's cool.

- That kind of logic isn’t post worthy. They are thinking inside the box here

Shoutout to the Octoprint spool manager plug-in that serves a similar purpose!

How do you print the QR code on a sticker? I'm just curious about your printer and software for that task.

- I use noteqr.de. Those are pre-printed qr codes, you just scan them and add content afterwards.

  I see. So the QR code doesn't contain any of your data in it, it's just a url to that site, which let's you store notes under that url.
  
  That's a neat site, but I was hoping for a local solution that actually stores the data in the QR code itself.
  
  Thanks for responding.
