Bambu Lab empty spool weight

Use these sourced tare weights to estimate how much filament remains on a Bambu Lab spool. Spool designs and production batches can change, so weighing your own empty spool is still the most precise method.

Reusable spool (1 kg filament)

250 g empty spool

Manufacturer source · Nominal filament: 1000 g

Bambu Lab lists the reusable spool at approximately 250 g. Weigh your own empty spool when precision matters.

How to calculate filament remaining

Weigh the loaded spool, then subtract the empty-spool tare weight. For example, a loaded spool weighing 720 g with a 220 g empty spool has about 500 g of filament remaining.
