| 3 | +title: Twenty-three more spool makers, and an icon on your home screen |
| 4 | +--- |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +## The catalogue knows 27 manufacturers |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +It used to know four. Alongside Polymaker, Prusament, Bambu Lab and eSUN, the |
| 9 | +shared catalogue now carries SUNLU, Overture, ELEGOO, Anycubic, Creality, |
| 10 | +HATCHBOX, Extrudr, Fillamentum, FormFutura, Spectrum, Devil Design, Das |
| 11 | +Filament, 3DJAKE, add:north, AzureFilm, Rosa3D, JAYO, FlashForge, Eryone, |
| 12 | +Amazon Basics, TINMORRY, GEEETECH and QIDI Tech — 76 spool sizes in total. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +The four that were already there grew as well. Polymaker gained the cardboard |
| 15 | +spool that PolyLite switched to, plus PolyMax, PolySonic, PolyFlex and Fiberon. |
| 16 | +Prusament is no longer just PLA: PETG, ASA, PVB and TPU are listed with their |
| 17 | +own sizes, including the 2 kg spool. eSUN gained the cardboard spool its PLA |
| 18 | +lines ship on today, and Bambu Lab the 500 g size. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Nothing you changed yourself is touched. Entries an administrator edited, and |
| 21 | +suggestions that were accepted from the community, keep their values — only |
| 22 | +filahub's own starter entries are brought up to date. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +A word of caution that has not changed: manufacturers redesign spools without |
| 25 | +announcing it, and cardboard takes on water. Treat every figure as a starting |
| 26 | +point, not as the spool in your hand. If it matters, weigh the empty spool once |
| 27 | +and copy the preset into a spool type of your own. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +## filahub on your home screen |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +filahub now has a proper app icon. Add it to the home screen of your phone or |
| 32 | +to the dock on your desktop and you get the spool logo instead of a blurred |
| 33 | +screenshot of the page — and the app opens without a browser address bar in the |
| 34 | +way. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## A button that shows you how |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Under **Settings → Quick access** there is now a button for exactly that. Where |
| 39 | +your browser offers to install a web app, the button asks it to. Where it does |
| 40 | +not — on an iPhone, for instance, Safari has no such thing — the button |
| 41 | +explains the two taps it takes instead, for the browser you happen to be using. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +## Credits |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +The empty weights come from work other people did and share, above all |
| 46 | +[SpoolmanDB](https://github.com/Donkie/SpoolmanDB), the filament database |
| 47 | +behind [Spoolman](https://github.com/Donkie/Spoolman). Thanks to everyone who |
| 48 | +weighed a spool so the rest of us do not have to. |
