Comment on PRUSA releases the OpenPrintTag, open source standard for filament spool identification and data tracking

I wonder if an external DIY sensor could be attached to unsupported printers so the signal/standard could be utilized. Maybe for something like the Creality line it would be as simple as a small display indicating detected filament parameters (for the user to input in the config).

There are USB NFC readers. Someone could add support for that to Klipper.

It can. All standard spec NFC: specs.openprinttag.org/#/nfc_data_format

So any USB or GPIO reader would work. This will be in Klipper quick I bet.

I'm sure the likes of Bambu will never support this, but lots of other makes likely will. Some will jump all in right away (it is cheap and a useful feature for their customers), others will jump in when forced. Some of the cheap ones will never jump in because that is $.50 they don't want to spend.
