I put my un spooled roll of faberdashery on the floor and put on a print. But the print failed I think because the filament got tangled with its self and stopped the feeder.

What is the best way to use the faberdashery unspooled filament to prevent tangles.

I have also had troubles with this filament being grinded down and getting stuck In the feeder. It could be related, Idk.

Thanks

    I pretty much always use Fab. On first use I take it from the packaging and unwind/rewind it, making similar sized loops to how it was delivered. It then lays on the floor whilst being used. Personally I find that 50metre lengths is the largest I like to work with; recoiling 100meters is a bit tricky, but that may just be me, probably easier with two pairs of hands.

    It can occasionally twist up again(I think that is a function of how well you have recoiled it) but if you lay it on the floor so that the top loops are spread horizontally towards the printer you should spot it before it becomes a problem.

    Having said all that I still prefer this physical method to using a spool of filament from other manufacturers.

    I use Faberdashery as well, it's a bit awkward but avoids the very tight coils and high friction that come with a normal spool.

    They supplied me with a .stl file for a folding spool holder, works very well, holds 100m of filament.

      • S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
