The last uncleanly-wound spool I had was in 2018. I haven’t paid more than €25 per kg ever, usually €15-20.
Comment on Clever trick to Un tangle a spool
finalarbiter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 days agoSome cheaper brands have poor QC to save on cost, so spools will occasionally have some tangles in it.

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 !

Local manufacturers and bulk prices, unless you are in Ukraine I don’t think names would help. 🙃

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?

That’s not how logic works. When’s the last time you’ve seen that specific manufacturing workflow? Citation needed.

It’s really easy to make a clove hitch- One loop basically just needs to slide under another. It isn’t difficult to imagine that the machine could have a little bit of play or backlash that could affect the ends of each layer in this manner.
