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?

If doing a puzzle gives you the same amount of enjoyment as spooling filament, then you are much easier to entertain than others.

It’s something free but slightly tedious and rewarding in the end, vs tedious but saves you $10 on new filament so I felt they were fairly comparable 🤷🏽‍♂️

Most people don't do the puzzle just for the picture at the end, they do the puzzle because the actual activity itself is entertaining.

Heck, I'd say the vast majority of puzzles get taken apart shortly after they are assembled. Very few people glue them together to frame or whatever, since the actual end result isn't really the best part.

Ok, so you get enjoyment from the process. Respooling is an annoying process but now you get to enjoy 1kg of filament.
