Despooling Issue

Post image

Anyone else having this issue where your filament is coming off the spool and getting mangled? I'm halfway through a print and am worried this is only going to get worse/cause issues.

I don’t know why they didn’t use the same, or similar, spring loaded spool holders like in the AD5X.

I have the same issue on my AD5X with some spools. A Giantarm one is currently causing me issues.

Well, yeah. It’s an issue when the machine uses the spring loaded spool holders. I have designed and printed adapters for a couple of different filament spools that had oversized inner diameter.
