RFID Testing

I imagine this behaviour is pretty obvious - but thought I would document it anyway as it might be of interest.

Test1 - Empty BL PLA White Basic -> Generic White.

• Respooled about half of some generic white PLA onto an Empty BL PLA Basic white spool inner.
• Printer detected it ok as white PLA and also seem to get the approximately amount respooled about right too - so probably handy for auto colour selection of non Bambu filament - as long as you have a previously used Bambu inner, and don't mind the generic filament being picked up as Bambu. NB. I marked an arrow on the cardboard of the inner to make sure I wound the filament on in the correct direction

Test2 - Removed RFID from left hand side.

• As expected the respooled generic white filament on a BL spool wasn't detected as white in Slot 4 of the AMS.
• But in slot 3 of the AMS it was detected ok as white.

Test 3 - Removed RFID from left hand side of BL Generic Blue

• As expected same behaviour as above - the spool was detected ok when it was replaced in slot3

Test 4 - probably the most useful one to me.

Took a half of the BL Generic Blue filament (which I was already using in another AMS on another printer), - but having to manually configure it on that printer.

Added the left RFID removed from the main BL Blue PLA spool into the Half respooled spool - on the outside, with the edge of the RFID about 3.7mm from the edge of the spool. Stuck it on with sticky tape on the outside.

• Result as expected - in slot 4 of the second AMS (on a different printer) - filament was detected ok as half empty BL PLA blue.

So I will probably do the same for the other 4 or 5 BL filaments that I have half respooled onto 2nd spools - so that I can use the same colour on 2 printers at the same time. Just need to mark the 2 spools carefully to make sure that it is obvious which ones will be detected in the odd and even slots respectively.

The only slight change I might make is that I think it would probably be better to slice off the right hand side RFID - as it won't interfere with the notch - where as the left hand side is the one right on the notch in the spool holder.

Haven't actually tried doing any printing on long term tests - but thought I would document results anyway in case they might be of use.

I do have Proxmark3 and ASM, but most valuable thing is that im developer i can do mobile, desktop applications (Maui c#, flutter, c++, java), also can do webs(Js,Blazor, React, Svelte)... Let me know how can i help.. There is also possibility to established the annonym server to host this data, ot at least api for Desktop application....

Mine have unique tags on each side of the spool that normal?
