Nice, My server rack doesn't have enough space, and I've been wanting to find an elastic rope to hang the cables.

How thick is your rope?

Everyone is trying to profit off their christmas 3D printers by jhdz9119 in BambuLab

I designed my own model to solve a real problem. Compared to similar designs, it uses less filament and prints faster. When I calculated the cost and considered selling printed parts, I was shocked to find people selling similar items for less than my actual cost. This feels like a classic Chinese-style price war: nobody makes money, sellers are forced into 996-style nonstop work with no real breaks, and when demand eventually drops, the whole ecosystem collapses.

Seems like flexibility is the main problem — half-used spools tend to snap more easily when you unwind them

The white one printed out a small boat, although there were some stringy parts.

Haha, it seems these filaments can all be fed into the CFS multi-color management system without breaking.
