01 · How it works

Four steps from group chat to shared box.

Every club runs the same loop on a fortnightly cadence. The app handles the boring parts — the tally, the cutoff, the splits — so the box just shows up.

01/
Mon — Drop opens

Open the drop

A new drop opens automatically every other Monday. Members pick spools and colours from the shared catalog right inside the app.

Catalog · PLA · PETG · ABS · more
02/
Sun 23:59 — Cutoff

Tally at cutoff

Carts lock Sunday night. The app rolls every cart into a single supplier order, slot by colour, and shows the group total.

Threshold · $800 free shipping
03/
Mon 09:00 — Front

One person fronts

The week's nominated fronter pays the supplier from one card. Their PayID is shown to everyone else with the exact amount they owe.

Fronter rotates · @mara this drop
04/
Wed — Box arrives

Split the box

The shared box lands at the fronter's place. Members tick off their spools, mark paid, and the drop closes. New one opens next Monday.

02 · Why a club

Because filament is heavy, fragile, and weirdly expensive to buy alone.

Pooling spools with friends gets you wholesale-style pricing, knocks shipping per spool down to nothing, and keeps a colour wall stocked you couldn't justify on your own.

Members per club
You set the cap — small enough to trust, big enough to bulk.

Bigger colour wall, smaller fridge

Split a 24-spool run across the group and suddenly your shelf has Sakura Pink, Cobalt Blue, and colours you'd never justify stocking solo — without one person bankrolling the whole rainbow.

One card up front, no PMs

The fronter's PayID is shown automatically with the exact dollar amount per person. No calculator screenshots in the group chat.

Predictable, not pushy

Skip a drop, no drama. The cadence keeps running so you can opt in only when you actually need spools.

03 · Anatomy of a drop

One box. Every cart. Settled by Wednesday.

A look at a real drop in flight — the same one running on the dashboard right now.

04 · Catalog

Curated. Not infinite.

A curated catalog — hand-picked colourways and lines that grow with your club. Enough to print everything you'll actually print — without choice paralysis at the cutoff.

PLA Basic
1kg · 1.75mm

The everyday workhorse. Reliable, affordable, prints anywhere.

PLA Matte
1kg · 1.75mm

Soft low-sheen finish. Hides layer lines. Photographs beautifully.

PETG HF
1kg · 1.75mm

High-flow, tough, water-resistant. Great for functional parts.

ABS
1kg · 1.75mm

Heat-resistant, durable. For enclosures and outdoor parts.

05 · A real club

Your crew, one box, every fortnight.

This is the demo club running in the app. Mara is fronting Drop 014, Tev / Rob / Priya are paid up, KJ and Eli still owe, and Ben hasn't ordered this round.

06 · Questions

Things people ask before starting.

If your printer group chat sounds anything like a real one, these will land.

Who pays the supplier?

One person each drop — the fronter — pays from a single card. Spool.Club generates a PayID-ready breakdown so the rest of the group settles up the next day. Fronting rotates so it doesn't fall on one person.

What if someone doesn't order?

Nothing breaks. Members opt in per drop. If you skip, your slot is just empty for that round and the rest of the club still ships. The drop after that, you're back in if you want.

Can we add other suppliers?

The catalog is curated on purpose — it's the fastest path to a working group buy. We're adding more filament brands and types over time; broader supplier choice lands as the core loop stays solid.

Does it work outside Australia?

The PayID flow is AU-first. The rest of the app — catalog, cart, splits, reminders — is currency-agnostic, so a Stripe / Wise / Venmo handoff for other regions is a small change.

How big can a club be?

That's up to you — set a club size that fits your group. Big enough to clear free-shipping thresholds, small enough that everyone actually knows everyone. You can run multiple clubs from one account.

What does it cost?

Spool.Club itself is free during the beta. There's no markup on filament — you pay the supplier directly through the fronter, at supplier price.
