    cardboard spool refill vs plastic spool

    Thanks. That's what got me wondering. If the 2-part split plastic spool basically encapsulates the cardboard, then its not really doing much to alleviate those particular issues because the cardboard is still in contact with filament. But now that I'm reading the included instructions :/ it...

    cardboard spool refill vs plastic spool

    Might be Bambu specific question because I'm using non-AMS overhead arm for single spool on my A1 LEFT ome spools come pre-wound on plastic housing. I guess when done you toss it into recycle & hope it doesn't end up shows up over a turtles neck or dolphin blow hole CENTER generically called...

    Tool David's 2x48 grinder build

    The only thing I'd keep an eye on is if the dent pushed the fan blade down a bit, it may have also pushed the centrifugal switch down and/or interfered if that's where its located. At least I think it single phase if that's the capacitor can. If it starts & runs, that's a good sign. But if you...
