Review on πŸ–¨οΈ 3D Printing Supplies: Printer Filament 1.75mm with High Dimensional Accuracy - Additive Manufacturing Products by Jerome Pritchard

Why would they use a custom through hole in the coil?

Over the years I have purchased quite a few spools of filament from various manufacturers. All had the same diameter of the through hole in the coil. This manufacturer decided they needed to use a much larger opening so the reel seat I have won't work. I'm also not sure if the reel really weighs 1kg. I have no way of measuring accurately. With the same outer diameter of the spool and the width, the larger center hole usually means less thread. I did a test print. So far it prints well enough. It was the main body without ledges. I've noticed that I've had more trouble removing supports than with other brands and the same settings. Edit 3/12/21: About 10 hours after the 17 hour print, the spool got tangled. It was screwed wrong. It was so tight that it pulled the spool into the machine and caused some minor damage. Be careful with this thread if you can't keep track of the car. Otherwise, you may need to readjust before long prints.
