During Spring Break, the Filabot Spooler arrived which was one of the last key components that our team has been waiting on! Testing the spooler led to a few problems:

1. The guiding wheels had too much tension in between them which then caused the filament to be off center;

2. The slip-notch wheel was too loose and didn’t catch

Our team decided on using electrical tape to make grooves on to the two smaller wheels to help guide the filament. Here’s a link to view how it turned out!
