Have you ever had a loose spool that seemed unusable? Well, don’t throw it away just yet. We have a quick way to save it!
Print this fixture first. Then, check if the filament is tangled or stuck at any position. If it is, we have detailed steps here on how to fix it: Filament tangled or stuck. Finally, use the fixture to screw the filament on a spool. The spool of filament should print as a fresh and normal one now!
