In an effort to continue the 3d printing, I was convinced to explore larger options for filament – specifically larger rolls of 1.75mm filament. To that end, I purchased a 5 kg spool from Gizmodorks. However, my current storage option is a bit too tiny for the oversized bulk of the new spool. More importantly, it is located high above the printer, and I am rather concerned about a structural failure resulting in printer damage.
Pictured is the full spool, next to a Godzilla plushy for scale. Assuming I can sort a reliable way to feed the filament into the printer itself, this should last at least a month or more of constant printing (with no risk of a failed print due to running out).
