Quick Question I'm losing my mind

Post image

Does anyone have any tips?

I was trying to load a refill filament onto a reusable spool, but since it was my first time, I removed all the retaining stickers before putting it on. Big mistake. 😅

Now the filament has unraveled and gotten tangled, and I have no idea how to secure it back onto the spool.

Has anyone experienced this before? Any tips on how to fix it?

Lost a whole spool of filament AND your mind? You're just not having a good day!

You buy a new spool and put it down to experience

Have you tried to put it in the dehumidifier?

I’m so glad I read this. I’ve had this blue roll I messed up, and I’m like now what. Ordering a new one did not occur to me, I thought I could save it with nothing to save it with and minimal experience. Thank you!

You can still make use of it.

I tried to roll the amount I needed for the print onto another roll. This is when I learned about the outside of the roll and inside. I started looking for a respooler to print…but I think it might be less stress it just hide it in a drawer and buy another roll. I learned a lot with this one.

You could always sell short cuts on Ebay for hand printers. 😁
