i'm going to need some of that restraint you were talking about for picking out seeds... i'm just gonna pick all the ones i really want to start and then narrow it down by "xmas tree" type. if that's even possible...
does your printer have a drawer for tools like mine? i constantly forget i even have that drawer... i'm always setting my tools on a shelf next to the printer!! haha

but honestly since i starting using the pei plate the only tool i use is the cutters for filament ends.. i don't miss those cheapo plate one bit!!!
the only reason i have those small spools of TPU is because i wanted the "blue #5" color!!! hahaha i never had an issue with the big spools of TPU at all. i wonder if maybe it has to do with my spool holder. the very first upgrade i made to my printer when i bought it was a ball bearing spool holder. i ordered it with the printer so i never even put the oem one on it. it was the #1 complaint about my printer from a few youtube peeps so i got it right from the get go..

one thing i know about the small spools is i will never buy this brand again... they tangle up so terrible!! i broke a filament guide because of it.. glad i home and heard it break or it would have caused serious damage to the printer!!
sunlu never again!!

it's all my "metal" looking ones... it's all useless pla anyway so i don't really use it. but every spool tangles and you have to be near the printer every 15-20 minutes to free up the next meter or so of filament so it doesn't jam up!! so i guess i'm a little guy shy to buy anymore small spools of anything anymore. plus they kinda rip ya off on the prices for the smaller spools. but if ya only needed a little bit of something for a project a get it... it's why i bought the ones i have. i just regret it is all.
i haven't had any issues with the medium sized spools though so maybe that has something to do with it.. or maybe just the brand.. either way i'm not spending any money on sunlu to find out!! hehe
