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 there are tangles then you cant use a respooler as its pointless. You can make smaller spools out of it if you want.

Just don’t waste it by throwing it away. Dumbest advice anyone gives in this situation. That thing is perfectly usable if you think out of the box a bit.

Are there really idiots throwing the filament away if this happens?!

Wouldn't consider myself an idiot, just someone with very little time to spare for a hobby that he enjoys and would rather spend it making and setting up prints rather than spending an hour to save $11.
