Good news for people with OCD who find the messy spool a little bit annoying, LOL….
Back to the topic, maybe your new design can really be a cure for tangle issue.

Hi monitorjoe, thanks for reply

maybe neatly coiled filament is a better choice for OCD people : )

but our aim of improving the coiling is mainly to avoid tangle issue

[jericolord]

Sounds like a great improvement. But I just wonder if this will cost much more?

Hi jericolord,

Thanks for comment. yes, the price for this new coiled will be a little higher due to more cost on improvement.

nice try~ improving the coiling technique may be a cure for tangles as coils are wound regularly and the whole spool will not be a mess

One thing to bear in mind. The reprapper ltd white PLA prints at 215-220. It won't event extrude at 200.
So reset the pre-heat temps accordingly if you've been using normal pla.

It's great stuff, just prints a bit hotter than standard pla.
The other colours I've tried print at 195 really really well.

Thanks very much for your comments of our filament.
In fact there are several factors that will impact the printing temperature:
1. What kind of PLA material you are using. For this factor, you can see more and more filament suppliers’ printing temperature is higher than that of their original products. Their original printing temperature is about 190°C and now increases to about 210°C. But our filament’s is always about 210°C. The lower printing melt point, the cheaper PLA, and more recycled material the lower melt point.
2. Toner impact. Different color toners will impact the temperature (about 10°C).
3. What kind of 3D printer sensor you are using. For example, K series sensor and Pt100 have different sensitivity of the temperature and will result in different printing temperature setting.
