I'm a newb at printing, and I got some delamination and the overhangs didn't print so great... but it slipped right over the spool and moves around quite freely. Between it and the fantastic spool holder, I think I'm set for filament management!
Thanks!

Sweet!!! I was planning on designing something for that too as I just got my first roll of filament on a spool. So you saved me thinking of how I would do it and then the design time.

Do you guys print using a raft? What is the ideal layer height for this? Infill % ? I'm going to go no raft, .30mm layer height, 30% infill.
