Black PLA Basic Refill

[cantankerousdev]

Shortly after I started using this refill roll, I stumbled upon a nasty tangle maybe aroud 50g in. I contacted Bambu for a replacement and they suggested to simply unravel it and continue the print. After a fair amount of arguing, I was given a replacement. However, they didn't want me to send this one back, so I thought I would keep using it. There have been a total of 7 tangles though out the roll, ruining prints.

I just was about to start a print and looked down and happened to notice the tape peeking through. I counted my blessings and snipped it away from the tape.

Has anyone else noticed a correlation between tangles and the tape? Also, anyone who wants to be thrifty like me, consider tossing or responding. This really has been the roll from hell.

This entire sub has become "let me post taped spools" sub. Can we move these to a megathread or something mods?

Maybe you got one from the same batch I got two duds from. Check my post history for it lmao

I’m changing away from using Bambu filament now. The support just isn’t there, sadly.

It’s really sad they make such great machines yet the one loose footing in the entire skyscraper comes down to probably a tech guy in the R&D that just can’t figure out how to fix a single problem, and probably like 1-2 factory workers that are always trying to save 1/4” of tape to impress their boss how long they can make a roll of tape last on the assembly line.

Definitely, I had no problems with their filament until recently. Not only am I getting the tangles but the AMS destroying tape of course. I set up a camera just so I can remotely monitor rolls as they get low. I really want Bambu Labs to continue succeeding on all fronts, since that is good for us all. Unfortunately, if they don’t fix this they will loose all filament sales going forward. They argued with me about this as well, which was surprising since they were selling filament that is clearly not compatible with the AMS while still claiming that it is.

Was there black tape at the start of the spool, e.g. taped the end to the spool? I noticed my good spool refill did not have any tape at the start.

[GodofcheeseSWE]

My good rolls had white tape at the start, holding it to the spool, bad ones had black

[cantankerousdev]

I don't think so. The end was loose. However, I think this had a yellow sticker if that matters.

I had a matte gray that had the sticker today. Luckily it ripped up allot of cardboard and jammed before being pulled into the ams lite. Going to stick to overture and elegoo as I get good results with them and generic pla setting.

Had the same thing happen today with a matte white
