My library has a Prusa derivative and several Dremel commercial machines, all running PLA filament. The Dremels are not bad for FDM machines, but the RFID-equipped proprietary spools are not ideal IMHO. On one hand, they tell the machine what it is using so it can auto-adjust its settings and simplify setup. The quality seems good, too. On the other hand, you're locked into a proprietary supply chain.

I feel the same way, we may need this kind of solution, that prevents handling mistakes, to bring 3D printing to a wider population but we need an open standard shared by most companies (unlike ink cartridge for normal printers).
