That is a neat option, but would cost a bit of filament

Re: Re-use old spools?
The big question is: how much filament do you need to waste to "re use an old spool"? It almost feels like the spool it's gonna end on printing these things to re-use itself

Some of those shelves take a couple hours!

Perhaps if we could find a re-use that doesn't require us printing anything or much less than that... Cardboard perhaps?LePaul wrote:What a clever point.
