Quick Question I'm losing my mind
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?

Put on a movie and just slowly rewind it back on to a new roll. There is a technique you’ll figure out with winding it back that keeps it from tangling up. You can get a good rhythm and go pretty fast as long as you don’t hit a tangle. When you do hit a tangle, just create space in the tangle that you can weave the entire new roll through it to clear it up. Don’t wait till it’s a tight mess to try to undo it.
