Empty spool weights
Weigh a spool, subtract what the empty spool weighs, and you know exactly how much filament is left. Empty spools vary a lot between brands, so look yours up rather than guessing.

How much filament is left?
Pick your spool, or type its empty weight, then put the spool on a kitchen scale.
Keeping track of your spools? My Inventory uses this catalogue too: weigh a logged spool and it updates what's left.
How to check what's left on a spool
- Step 1
Weigh the spool
Take it off the printer or dryer and weigh it on a kitchen scale, in grams.
- Step 2
Find the empty weight
Look up your brand, spool size and spool material in the catalogue below.
- Step 3
Subtract
What the scale says minus the empty spool is the filament you have left.
The catalogue
Plastic and cardboard spools weigh differently, even from the same brand: 55 entries here are cardboard.

Common questions
Tare weights, accuracy and missing brands.
Why do I need to know empty spool weights?
Weigh a spool and subtract the empty spool's weight, and you know how much filament is left, so you can tell whether a print will finish before you start it. In this catalogue a typical empty 1 kg spool weighs about 198 g, but they range from 38 g to 345 g, so guessing can be out by more than 100 g of filament.
How do I calculate remaining filament?
Take the spool off the printer and weigh it on a kitchen scale, find your spool in the catalogue (brand, size and spool material), then subtract its empty weight from what the scale says. The result is the filament left, in grams.
How accurate are these spool weights?
They're measurements shared by the community, and spools vary between production batches, so some entries give a range. Use the average for an estimate, or weigh an empty spool of your own for an exact figure.
What if my spool brand is not listed?
The catalogue comes from the community Empty Spool Weight Catalog on Printables. Weigh your next empty spool and add it there to help everyone else.
