Newbie question: Are some Bambu filament refills wound in the opposite direction? I ask because I recently loaded a brand new refill spool (inserting the cardboard notch into the correct larger spool half) and discovered the spools wind direction is opposite of my others, leaving the exterior label on the left instead of the usual right. The RFID specs were detected so I don’t see any issue, just curious if I might be doing something incorrectly.
You are correct that the new refills are wound in the opposite direction. This is not an issue for most but a headache for me.
I printed and glued on to each one of my spools a filament end holder (so the spool doesn’t unwind in storage). Been using the spools this way for years and they work great.
While it is not a large piece, it is large enough that it will catch on the roller in the AMS if it is on the left side of the spool, causing a “jam”. It would be nice to know if this is a quality control issue that will be resolved or if they intend to keep the “new” direction.
