Hey all I planned on running overture pla in my new ams 2 pro because money.

So far I have some pla rings for the outer edge of the cardboard spools.

Wondering should I run an anti snag cutter on it???

What about weights in the spools?

And is it possible to have the Bambu monitor the useage of the spools?

I haven't tried the filament cutter mods so I cant answer that but haven't had a problem with my cardboard spools (Overture, Polymaker) outside of needing the rings to keep the cardboard from shredding.

A weight or desiccant pod insert couldn't hurt, but I only ever run into this issue with my 250g spools with printed adapters since they're so light with a long 'lever arm' from the center of the spool to the edge.

Also the only way to read remaining filament is if you add a Bambu RFID tag to the spool as this is what it uses to measure (counting how quickly the tag is spinning versus how much filament it has pulled).
