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.
