# Filament Inventory - Cleaned & Enhanced
|
||||
|
||||
## 📦 What I Did
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Cleaned Up Original Inventory
|
||||
**Fixed:**
|
||||
- ✅ Standardized brand names (Bambu Lab, Inland, Sun, etc.)
|
||||
- ✅ Fixed typos (darkPuple → Dark Purple, Broown → Brown, etc.)
|
||||
- ✅ Consolidated duplicate Green entries (4 spools now properly tracked)
|
||||
- ✅ Merged Blue entries (3 Bambu Lab blues = 2,200g total)
|
||||
- ✅ Combined White entries (100g + 1,800g = 1,900g total)
|
||||
- ✅ Combined Black entries (200g + 1,500g + 400g = 2,100g total)
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Enhanced With Business Columns
|
||||
**Added:**
|
||||
- **Status** - Full (1000g) / Partial (400-900g) / Low (<400g)
|
||||
- **Location** - Storage / Printer 1 (track where spools are)
|
||||
- **Purchase_Date** - Estimated dates (update with real dates when known)
|
||||
- **Cost_USD** - Estimated costs (update with actual receipts)
|
||||
- **Reorder_Threshold** - Auto-alerts when stock is low (default: 200g)
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Created Ready-to-List Report
|
||||
**Business Intelligence:**
|
||||
- 24 colors ready to list (500g+ stock)
|
||||
- 7 colors need reordering before listing
|
||||
- Pricing recommendations (standard vs premium)
|
||||
- Launch strategy (which products to list first)
|
||||
- Stock alerts (what to reorder NOW vs later)
|
||||
|
||||
## 📁 Files Created
|
||||
|
||||
### `filament-inventory-cleaned.csv`
|
||||
**Purpose:** Your master inventory database
|
||||
**Format:** CSV (import to Excel, Google Sheets, or inventory software)
|
||||
**Columns:** Brand, Type, Color, Finish, Amount_g, Status, Location, Purchase_Date, Cost_USD, Reorder_Threshold
|
||||
**Use For:**
|
||||
- Daily inventory tracking
|
||||
- Cost tracking (business expenses)
|
||||
- Reorder management
|
||||
- Location tracking (find spools quickly)
|
||||
|
||||
### `filament-ready-to-list-report.md`
|
||||
**Purpose:** Etsy launch strategy guide
|
||||
**Highlights:**
|
||||
- Which colors to list first (workhorse vs specialty)
|
||||
- Which colors need restocking
|
||||
- Pricing recommendations
|
||||
- Stock alerts
|
||||
|
||||
### `filament-inventory-README.md`
|
||||
**Purpose:** This file! Instructions and workflow guide.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🚀 How to Use These Files
|
||||
|
||||
### Daily Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
**After Each Print:**
|
||||
1. Open `filament-inventory-cleaned.csv`
|
||||
2. Find the color you used
|
||||
3. Subtract grams used from Amount_g column
|
||||
4. Update Status if needed (Full → Partial → Low)
|
||||
5. Save & commit to Git
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
Before print: Bambu Lab, PLA, Black, Matte, 1500g, Full
|
||||
Print used: 100g for phone stand
|
||||
After print: Bambu Lab, PLA, Black, Matte, 1400g, Partial
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Weekly Review
|
||||
1. Sort by `Status` column
|
||||
2. Check all "Low" entries
|
||||
3. Create reorder list for <200g colors
|
||||
4. Review `filament-ready-to-list-report.md` for stock alerts
|
||||
|
||||
### Monthly Audit
|
||||
1. Update `Purchase_Date` with actual dates
|
||||
2. Update `Cost_USD` with real receipts (tax deduction!)
|
||||
3. Calculate total inventory value
|
||||
4. Review popular colors (need to stock more?)
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔄 Syncing to Gitea
|
||||
|
||||
**Upload cleaned CSV to Gitea:**
|
||||
```bash
|

## 📊 Key Insights from Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### Inventory Strengths
|
||||
- **Black PLA:** 2,100g (excellent - your workhorse color)
|
||||
- **White PLA:** 1,900g (excellent - essential for contrasts)
|
||||
- **Green PLA:** 2,800g across multiple shades (great variety)
|
||||
- **Blue PLA:** 2,200g (strong stock)
|
||||
- **Specialty colors:** Galaxy, Marble, Glow, Rainbow (premium offerings)
|
||||
|
||||
### Critical Gaps
|
||||
- **Yellow:** Only 800g (popular color - reorder soon)
|
||||
- **Orange:** Only 800g (reorder soon)
|
||||
- **Brown:** Only 200g (too low to list)
|
||||
- **Purple shades:** Fragmented across 4 different purples
|
||||
|
||||
### Business Recommendations
|
||||
1. **Stock 2-3 spools** of Black/White at all times (your bread & butter)
|
||||
2. **Premium strategy:** Focus on Galaxy/Marble/Glow (charge more, higher margins)
|
||||
3. **PETG advantage:** Only 5 competitors offer PETG - highlight functional prints
|
||||
4. **Rainbow appeal:** 1,200g total - very popular for kids' items
|
||||
|
||||
## 💡 Pro Tips
|
||||
|
||||
### Cost Tracking
|
||||
- Save all filament receipts → business expense deduction
|
||||
- Track cost per gram: `Cost_USD / 1000g = $/gram`
|
||||
- Calculate profit margin: `(Sale_Price - Filament_Cost - Time) / Sale_Price`
|
||||
|
||||
### Location Tracking
|
||||
- Mark filaments in printers as "Printer 1" / "Printer 2"
|
||||
- Use shelf labels in storage: "A1", "A2", "B1", etc.
|
||||
- Update location when moving spools
|
||||
|
||||
### Reorder Automation
|
||||
- Set reorder threshold at 200g (enough for 2 small prints)
|
||||
- Create "Shopping List" from Low status entries
|
||||
- Order in bulk to save on shipping
|
||||
|
||||
### Inventory Photos
|
||||
- Print color samples (Bambu Ball or color chips)
|
||||
- Photograph for website (use Feb 7 photo guide)
|
||||
- Store sample prints with labels
|
||||
|
||||
