Place the inner hole of your tangled spool on a circular object so that it can spin without rolling away. Spin the empty spool clockwise so that the filament starts to wind around it (use the drill on the empty spool, if you're using the drill method).8 Dec 2020

Can you melt 3D printer filament?
A recycler system is a great way to turn your excess filament or failed prints back into usable filament. The system grinds up and melts the plastic. Then extrudes it and coils it onto a spool. Many machines only grind or only melt, meaning you may need two machines.5 Jun 2019
How do you dissolve a 3D printer filament?
- PLA can be dissolved by solvents such as acetone, ethyl acetate, methyl ethyl ketone, tetrahydrofuran and caustic soda (sodium hydroxide).
- PLA is a soluble filament.

Can I melt PLA?
Re-use: yes, it can be re-melted endlessly as long as the PLA is not combined with other materials in a composite.
Can you dye 3D printer filament?
We suggest using RIT liquid dye for dyeing 3D printed nylon parts- although it is listed as a fabric dye, it works really well on our nylon (because nylon is commonly used for fabrics!). If you choose to use another dye, just ensure that it works on nylon.

Can you color filament?
There are two different ways you can go about dyeing your material: you can dye the filament before you print it, or you can dye your part. I recommend dyeing your nylon 3D print rather than your filament, so this article will be about that method.12 Oct 2017
How do you keep PLA from degrading?
3D printed parts made of PLA aren't typically strong enough to support a large amount of stress. Keeping PLA prints away from moisture, heat, or sunlight is the best way to make them last longer.18 Mar 2021

How long does a PLA filament last?
In short, when you place PLA under normal room temperature, it can last for a very long time say 12 to 18 years. Depending on where and how you store it, 3D printed objects made from PLA can last from a month, to 2 years and up to many years. It can break down at different rates depending on its environment.
