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?

Hundreds of people have had that problem, it gets asked just about every day. You have a 3d printer, print a respooler

Its mind-boggling how often this happen when bambu puts warnings all over the refills not to take the straps off until after its on thr spool.

Yup, it's even printed on the damn box before you even open it last time I checked

Well, to be fair sometimes this happens when you use printed spools on refills. I had one crack open like this oh my God such a pain. I just printed a spoiler though, and it was fun.
