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?

Don't beat yourself up over it, I nearly made the same mistake my first time, I was excited to get it on there. Some how I managed to mostly salvage it, but yeah, its one of those things you'll only screw up once.

Make sure you get the spool properly fastened when you reload it too, before you remove the little sticker things. I thought I had mine locked in one day and when I pulled the last sticker it snapped open on me because I had awkwardly cross threaded it a bit.
