ULTIMATE SOLUTION, HOW TO UNTIE THE FILAMENT KNOT?

What exactly is the "knot" in the spools?

A "knot" is a change in the correct winding of the spool that prevents it from being used normally in 3D printers.

SPOOLS

 

What is the source of the "knot" in the spools?

The filament manufacturing machines are designed for that knots never form, but when using the spools, it is very possible that the tip of the filament escapes during handling, when at the moment the tip of the filament is removed from the holes designed for it, the filament tends to return to its original position, so it can be placed under another line of filament, which, when picked up again, will create this famous "knot".

How do you avoid the problem of "knots" in spools?

First, never lose sight of the tip of the filament, once a spool has been started, it is critical when handling the filament, never let go of the tip of the filament, after using it, it must be inserted into the holes on the sides of the spool, yes! Those little holes, which in fact have a function and are designed to thread the tip of the filament after used and this avoid those annoying knots for future prints, Eureka today we learned something new!

SOLUTION KNOT

 

You must exercise extreme caution when inserting the spool into the printer and removing it for later storage. The tip should always be inserted through the holes on the sides of the coil so that it cannot be freely released.

 

And the final solution: How do you untangle the filament knot?

It's simple; just unwind manually, and when the crossing's origin is discovered, the filament is passed underneath and manually wound again, and thus, little by little, the spool can be returned to being completely useful for use in the printer, with no risk of printing errors, So keep printing!
