Topic: Received Some dirty filament

I just received some filament that had the plastic bag break during shipping, and as a result, the filament is very dusty and dirty. Is there a good way to clean the filament up?

Re: Received Some dirty filament

I've had that happen I just wrapped a micro fiber cloth around the filament before it entered the printer enclosure.  Wrapped that with some tape to hold it in place.  I printed that whole roll without issue.
