Just this morning, while printing my 5mm spacer, I had the print fail (and the dry box get yanked across the shelf to the printer, yay!) by a filament that was...badly spooled, so that it eventually hit a point where the filament wouldn't feed because it was pinned against the spool by another thread of the filament.
A terrible explanation, but I'm betting everyone gets what I mean.
Anyway, this is probably the second or third time this has happened to me, each time with a different roll. Is there a good way to handle this, other than to suck it up and start your print again?

I just don't understand how a company can spool a roll and an end get tucked under another end. It seems physically impossible with a continuous strand. I guess consider a different brand...
Some mount up a Tunnel brand filament monitor that pauses print when the filament runs out or stops moving. Toy Builder Labs has carries them.

Yeah, it's kind of mystifying to me too. I don't think I've had it happen with Hatchbox yet.
