I like them. Only issue I’ve had was self made, dropped a spool and it dented the cardboard which caused it to hang in the Sunlu dryer. Probably print some rings for my next bout of clumsiness.

I’m noticing more brands embracing cardboard spools and I’m for it

They’re easier to recycle

My only issue is when they’re full they squeak on my filament holder during printing, but I’m planning to fix that… Eventually.

https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-ender-3-ball-bearing-spool-holder-90265 This spool holder might be a good solution for that. I’m currently also looking to replace the terrible spool holder that came with my new printer.

this is cool, but kinda overkill. I just printed a super simple insert that fits snugly into the spole hole and the problem went away completely.

Not new but probably done for cost saving purposes.

Not just cost savings but also not having to throw a more big chunks of plastic in the garbage when you’re done. The waste from support material, rafts, and failed prints is already bad enough.
