What a tangled 3D printing filament spool we weave …

I was SO excited when I found a source for 15-pound spools of 3D printing filament! It was just what I needed to feed my voracious 8-foot-tall Cerberus 3D Gigante 3D printer. Some of its prints take 4 - 5 days to complete, which meant more getting up in the middle of...
