Comment on Clever trick to Un tangle a spool

  Some cheaper brands have poor QC to save on cost, so spools will occasionally have some tangles in it.

    Please explain to me how the manufacturer could tangle the spool. Both ends are fixed. I literally can not imagine how it could be the manufacturers fault.

      Honestly idk. It’s happened to me before, but not in the last several years. I know it wasn’t my fault because the tangles were deep in the spool and only uncovered late in a print, so it’s unlikely to have been caused by user error during handling or filament loading.

        And even more unlikely to happen during production. Think about it, how would that work? Lift up the filament extruder, take out the spool, run around the extruder and continue after that?just to tangle the filament?

    The last uncleanly-wound spool I had was in 2018. I haven’t paid more than €25 per kg ever, usually €15-20.

      I mostly buy petg that costs less than 8-9 euros per kilo. It happens sometimes.

        That’s a very low price. Is it quality filament ? Have any links ?

        Thanks !
