Color Inspector
$99.00
A pocket filament color reader. Scan a printed swatch, a strand of filament or a finished part and get a calibrated color reading, or scan two spools to see whether they came from the same batch. It works on its own, keeping your last 300 scans on a built-in web page, and with a free 3D Spool Tracker account it sends scans straight to your spools.
Features
- Three scan modes: Swatch (most accurate), Strand, and Probe for printed parts
- Batch check: tells you Same batch, Slight difference or Different batch
- Scans on the same reader agree to within a fraction of a ΔE
- Standalone: keeps your last 300 scans, with a local web page to name, compare and export them
- Works with 3D Spool Tracker: Find by color, similar spools you own, and match a print file to your spools (Pro)
- Private by default: without an API key it never contacts 3D Spool Tracker
What's Included
- •Assembled and calibrated Color Inspector (v2)
- •Swatch tray, strand tray and probe plate
