FilaLens

Scan filament colors. Keep them organized.

FilaLens uses your phone camera to estimate the color of your 3D printing filament and convert it into usable HEX + RGB values.

Then save your scans and organize them into material collections like PLA, PETG, TPU, or your own custom groups.

Practical, reliable, and built for real-world filament use.

Designed for real usage

Lighting, reflections, and materials always affect color.

That’s why FilaLens focuses on:

- stable readings instead of random snapshots

- visual feedback so you know when the result is reliable

- tools to save and organize useful scans later

Key Features

Live color tracking

Move your phone and find the best angle for scanning.

Snap mode

Freeze the camera image and comfortably copy the HEX value.

Torch support

Improve lighting in darker environments.

Stability indicator

See how solid and consistent your reading is.

HEX + RGB output

Ready for slicers, color matching, and reference use.

Recent scans

Your latest scans stay available for quick access.

Collections

Organize saved scans into:

- PLA

- PETG

- TPU

- custom collections

Add scans with one tap

Move recent scans into your library instantly.

Works best when:

- filament fills the center area

- lighting is even

- reflections are minimized

The app helps you get there — but you stay in control.

Why FilaLens?

Many filament apps rely on:

- RFID chips

- predefined databases

- manual brand lookups

FilaLens uses what you actually have in front of you:

- your filament, your lighting, your environment, in real time

Simple workflow

1. Point camera at filament

2. Adjust distance & angle

3. Wait for stable reading

4. Tap Snap to freeze

5. Copy HEX value

6. Save to collections if useful

About accuracy (honest & important)

Camera-based color detection depends on:

- lighting conditions

- filament surface (matte / glossy / transparent)

- phone camera characteristics

FilaLens is optimized for consistent practical results, not laboratory precision.

Perfect for:

- multi-color printing

- rough filament matching

- building your own filament library

- organizing leftover spools

- reducing guesswork

- quick color checks
