Tape Residue on a spool
Tape Residue on a spool
Is it possible for the leftover residue, of tape on a spool to be scraped into the feed? As the filament drags over the edges of the spool?

Honestly , I just clip the 2-3” off the front and not worry about it. It’s a minuscule amount of plastic
If you’re trying to be ultra frugal, yes, you can probably clean it off with a solvent. IPA might work. Goo gone would but introduces all sorts of other contaminants.
I admit I tried using every gram. Still I found some of the tape residue on the inside of the spool. Thanks for the advice.
I mean, honestly, it’s commendable.
I’d try IPA for the stuff in the middle. Or something like those blue 3m scrubbies.
Gotcha, thanks.
Apparently goo gone has limonene in it, I'd be wary of putting it anywhere near filament depending on the plastic used. I'm personally on the side of clip it and be done, I try to use as much as possible as well, have had the tail out on some spools get caught in the reverse bowden I use depending on the way its been wound, so I do tend to be on the cautious side and why I have smart filament sensors. Would rather lose 5g of filament over failing a print and wasting even more.
