## ❓ What does the "Low Stock" status mean?

Each filament has a minimum weight threshold (Min. Weight) defined when the filament is created. When a spool's remaining weight falls below this threshold, the spool is marked as **Low**. The Dashboard will then show a warning in the "Low Stock Spools" card.
