If I tilt it open and let it rest back on the spool, it puts a mild kink in the filament. As soon as that kink gers to the extruder... yeah, the printer will bend it like Beckham and makes these really interesting curly ques all over the place.

So, DON'T DO DAT. If you're getting kinks between the extruder and the drive wheels, make sure you aren't pre-kinking the filament. (You can straighten a kink, that's fine, the rules allow that).
