Interesting. This is similar to what Bambu lab's does with their filament to make it easier to use.

From the post:

>At its Prusa Day event in Prague last week, Prusa presented a new open source project that aims to normalize an open, cross-system standard for electronically readable tags on filament spools. It’s called OpenPrintTag, and with it, any filament spool can become a machine readable smart spool. There’s been much talk in many different circles about what to do with RFID. The likes of Bambu Lab, Creality, and Anycubic all independently use RFID for the convenient reading of a spool’s material, color, and other basic data. But their spools are not readable in each other’s ecosystems. It’s a bid for an easier in-system experience, but completely neglects the fact that that other filaments are available, and users of their machines will have preferences outside the brand’s offerings. Community-lead initiatives to develop open source RFID solutions do already exist, something the Prusa team was aware of and, ultimately, determined its own solution offered the best of all worlds.

I love that feature. If I get another brand I have to manually put in all the parameters every time I load up that spool. When I get Bambu I just put it in and walk away.
