Bambu Lab Quietly Testing Filametrics: A New Way to Track Filament and Organize Your Prints
Bambu Lab appears to be testing a new tool that could make managing 3D printing projects a whole lot easier. Called Filametrics, the platform aims to streamline how makers track their filament usage, manage spool inventory, and follow project progress—all from a clean, browser-based dashboard.
While still in alpha and not yet publicly announced by Bambu Lab, the tool was introduced by a developer on Reddit, revealing a strong focus on practical features built from community feedback.
What Is Filametrics?
Filametrics is a web-based platform—not self-hosted (at least not yet)—that’s currently in early development. It offers:
- Inventory Visualization: Quickly see your entire filament stock, including what’s in use or depleted.
- Advanced Filtering: Organize spools by brand, material, color, and more—ideal for serious makers with dozens of rolls.
- Project Management: A kanban-style “pipeline” helps track each print from idea to final delivery.
- Cataloging System: View and sort your filament collection across 50+ colors and 12+ materials.
Home Assistant Integration on the Horizon
One key point of excitement in the thread is the developer’s confirmation that Home Assistant integration is in the plans. While not yet available, this would allow users to manage their Bambu printers and filament setup directly from their local network—a highly requested feature among privacy-focused users.
Early Access and Feedback
Currently, about 50 alpha testers are shaping the platform. The developer is actively looking for more testers and has invited interested Reddit users to DM them for access.
There’s already positive buzz from the community, with some asking for a local, self-hosted version (especially for those using Home Assistant). Others noted they’d be open to a one-time licensing fee but are wary of future subscription models.
Final Thoughts
Though not officially rolled out yet, Filametrics represents another step in Bambu Lab’s push to create a fully integrated 3D printing ecosystem. If you’re tired of juggling spreadsheets or sticky notes to keep track of your spools and projects, this tool might just be what your print room needs.
