Re: one to rules them all...
Indeed... I'll still wait patiently in line for my filastruder... but dang.. that one has some nice industrial design elements to it... but not sure its worth the near double-when-shipped-internationally vs a filastruder.. I have no problems with a purely functional asthetic given the price point differences 
Re: one to rules them all...
An attached spool isn't the same as a spooling system. There doesn't even appear to be any speed control for it.
Re: one to rules them all...
It looked like the spool was relying on a slip clutch with a very small amount of actual torque being applied to the spool, as long as you could keep the pull even I think this would work ok...
Re: one to rules them all...
I worry about still-warm filament being wrapped around a small diameter spool.
Re: one to rules them all...
That was my first thought when I saw it working but then he showed the filament coming back off... hard to say til you actually put a few rolls through it in a warmer climate and so on...
