3D Printer Stuff Glow-Filament is the ANTISPOOL

[Sky]

I've noticed the glow filaments tend to stick the the spooled filament. I'm using 3Dprinterstuff.com's and it has stopped my print 3 times by not being able to unspool.

Anyone have an idea for mitigating this problem?

I've tried printing in a warmer environment, cooler, and by putting it on better spooling systems with less friction.

My success has come from putting the spool on 4 skateboard bearings for ease of rotation, and by hand spooling out more filament as it tightens up.

It could be that the filament is absorbing moisture from the atmosphere. You should always try to keep it dry by storing it in an airtight container with a drying agent with it.

To cure your current problem, put it in an oven at 40-50C (100-120F) for about an hour then store it properly.

You must also understand that the stepper operating the filament feed into your extruder is not very strong, so it cannot pull the filament off the reel easily.
