Summary

I usually purchase the cheapest filament I can find on eBay, which I call No Name (unbranded) filament.

I have experienced several spools of this filament with crossed-over lines of filament which prevent the extruder from pulling the filament off the spool. The crossed-over lines can occur in numerous places throughout the length of the filament. Don't know how the manufacturer manages to do this (and it only occurs on a few spools) but rewinding the filament is required so you do not need to continuously monitor the printer.

I designed the filament spool holders and nuts for rewinding. Files also included for the motor drive pulley which fits a 5/16" motor shaft.

Tips are gladly accepted and much appreciated.
