    I don't trust or use a spool holder attached to the printer on any of mine.
    Easy enough to fab up something disconnected that will never fail :)

    This is the big one for the main printers.

    Small one for C2:

    P.S. Both of those were <$20 at home depot and about 5 minutes to assemble :)

    I hope those are hydrophobic filaments.

    Not to worry, mine print wet just fine :)
    None of those are nylon though. That crap can't tolerate wet at all.

    Besides which they "last" only a very short time on that holder... they get used up pretty quickly

    (OK, the blue spool on the C2 has been there for weeks, but it is just PLA and I can live with that wet. We don't use the C2 all that much)

    meh lol I leave mine out all the time (just lazy and wont put them away) only filament I've had issues with is nylon as well. Some ABS has caused headaches but I use everything fast enough nothing sits out long enough to matter. If it worries you you can always build a box around the filament and put a bunch of desicant in it. I do suggest a dehumidifier in your print room (just helps). I run one in both the shop and the home play room.
