    Is that actually easier than a small slip with all that info attached to it instead? Genuinely don’t know

      That kind of logic isn’t post worthy. They are thinking inside the box here

    Shoutout to the Octoprint spool manager plug-in that serves a similar purpose!

    How do you print the QR code on a sticker? I’m just curious about your printer and software for that task.

      I use noteqr.de. Those are pre-printed qr codes, you just scan them and add content afterwards.

        I see. So the QR code doesn’t contain any of your data in it, it’s just a url to that site, which let’s you store notes under that url.

        That’s a neat site, but I was hoping for a local solution that actually stores the data in the QR code itself.

        Thanks for responding.

          I don’t see why you couldn’t use any old QR Code generator and just print the image of it yourself?

            Sure, I was mostly asking about the printer and sticker setup. Generating a QR code is one thing. Getting it printed nicely on a sticker is another. OPs solution uses a preprinted qr code to a url and then you store your notes in their site. Nothing wrong with it if that’s what you want, but I’d like to encode the data directly.

          You can buy sheets of stickers that you can then print on
