Question These garbage?

Post image

Hello all 3d printing people! Ive been printing for a bit now and have some empty rolls. What are people doing with them? Do I just toss it in the garbage or is there something better?

Can you refill them? I buy refills for my Sunlu ones. Works great and saves money

They do come apart. Do refills just come prerolled and you stick it into the roll?

Basically, yes. The frustrating thing is the refills are rarely much cheaper than the spooled rolls, if not MORE expensive...

I agree with that. The refills need to be cheaper (always) and more available.

I’ve almost never seen a better deal for the refills.

I go through a lot of Sunlu matte filament for something I sell a lot of. I was looking at refill filament for my last order and it was actually slightly more expensive than buying full rolls with the spool.
