How to import your spools from 3D Filament Profiles (SpoolDB) into SimplyPrint's filament manager.

Export your spools from 3D Filament Profiles

  1. Go to 3dfilamentprofiles.com/my/spools and log in.
  2. Click the Export button in the top right corner.
  3. Select Export My Spools (CSV) from the dropdown menu.
Export menu in 3D Filament Profiles showing the CSV export option

JSON export also works - both formats are supported by SimplyPrint.

Import into SimplyPrint

  1. Open the Filament page in SimplyPrint.
  2. Click the Import button (top right).
  3. Upload the CSV (or JSON) file you just exported.
  4. SimplyPrint will automatically detect the format and map the columns for you.
  5. Review the preview to make sure everything looks right, then click Import.

What gets imported

Field Description
Brand Matched against our filament database when possible
Material Material type (PLA, PETG, ABS, etc.) and variant (Basic, CF, HF, etc.)
Color Color name and hex value
Remaining weight How much filament is left on the spool
Location Storage location - new locations are created automatically if needed
Notes Any notes you added to the spool

If a brand from your export exists in SimplyPrint's filament database, the spool will be linked to it automatically. This gives you accurate density values and slicing profiles for that brand's filament.
