Fixed it, by adding back the spool with the RFID… loaded and unloaded, then this time removed the spool and put it far away. then loaded the drybox filament manually and this time it let me edit the filament type!
This is my 1st 3d printer, and I have been waiting for a long time for something like this and my experience with this has been really great and I am having loads of fun. However, I encountered this situation today which made me very frustrated. So I went and printed a side mounted drybox from makerworld (Snapmaker U1 Filament DryBox|Snapmaker U1 filament dry box - Free 3D Print Model - MakerWorld). I finished assembling it and have been using it for a few days. Today I wanted to switch a filament, but didnt want to open my drybox, I also bought the snapdryer, hoping to keep the common filaments mounted on the machine and more sensitive and less frequently used ones in the snapdryer like tpu and petg. However, to my surprise I could not change the filament type as the side mounted ones are snapspeed rfid filament. I had to open up the drybox and take those out. I think this is a very basic ask and hoping that this can be addressed sometime soon. This feature is not only for error situations like the op has, but normal workflow as well as I just described.
I can’t help thinking RFID is a “convenience” too far – not unlike keyless car entry and ignition being for the lazy/trendy and actually a car thief’s delight (as if there was ever anything wrong with a key in the ignition switch).
You mean that both side spool holders have official filament with tags, and now you need to print with TPU filament (inserted directly into the print head), but because of the filament tag recognition, you are unable to set the filament type, right?
This may be normal behavior, because the filament electronic tag is recognized once when the filament is fed into the automatic feeder. If you don’t remove it and replace it, the filament type will not change. This is a priority issue worth discussing.
Your request is that manual modification should have higher priority than the electronic tag recognition. I will provide this feedback.
Thanks a lot for your response and attention to this issue. You are correct. It is not only that manual should get priority, it is that once it detects rfid we cannot change it. Not the type not the color.
For me the issue is i dont want to remove the filament from the side as they are in printed enclosed drybox. Having to take them out kind of defeats the purpose of those boxes. Hopefully this gets priority. There is also a reddit thread as well for this.
How about adding a setting to turn off RFID entirely?
The other 2 printers that I have do not let you edit a filament spool that has an RFID tag. The little eye ball symbol tells me the RFID tag has been read.
