Paste a link, get the spool - how SpoolShare autofill works

· SpoolShare

Typing "Prusament PLA Galaxy Black 1 kg" into a form is nobody's hobby. So the Add spool dialog in SpoolShare starts with a single field: the product URL. Paste the link you bought the spool from, hit Autofill, and the form fills itself.

Supported shops

Autofill currently understands product pages from:

The little info icon next to the field always shows the current list. Any other link still saves fine as a plain reference - you just fill the fields yourself.

What happens behind the scenes

The server fetches the page once and tries progressively richer sources: structured product data first, the shop's embedded variant list second, page titles and heuristics last. That is how one paste can yield brand, material, colour name - and, when the shop exposes it, the exact colour swatch.

When a page lists many colour variants (Bambu Lab is famous for this), SpoolShare shows a picker so you choose the one on your shelf instead of guessing.

From colour names to a palette

A colour name like "Blue Grey" or "stříbrná" is mapped to a representative hex, so the spool lands in your catalogue with a believable ring - and the whole page can sort by hue, like a palette. Compound names win over plain ones, so Blue Grey stays blue-grey instead of collapsing into grey.

If you want pixel-perfect colours, Premium adds photos with an eyedropper: photograph the spool, tap the plastic, and that exact shade becomes the spool's colour.

One habit worth keeping

Paste the variant URL when the shop has one per colour - it carries the most precise data. And if your favourite manufacturer is missing from the list, tell us; adding a shop is usually a small change.

Try it with your last order - the form is one paste away.
