			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Please send more details on this hack. It appears to be exactly what I have been looking for. Is that a soda straw you are using for a guide? Please, what is the url to the spool holder?</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Couple days ago I finally took a shot at 3rd-party filament - up to now I&#039;ve been running the XYZ Carts with Repetier firmware and Simplify3d, trying to get a good baseline before trying something new.</p><p>Based on my initial experience, wish I&#039;d jumped right in. My first roll has been with Glow-In-The-Dark filament from ORD Solutions (what I assume is a cheap nonage company). Frankly, it&#039;s way easier to work with than the XYZ Filament - sticks better, corners and edges are cleaner, just simpler in every way. After days fighting with getting the XYZ filament to hold and not warp, this is a cakewalk.</p><p>The only problem I had was with the filament feed. I printed a spindle that hangs off the back of the Duo and promptly ruined a print when the external filament bound on the spool. After spending a couple hours and a trip to Home Depot trying to come up with a viable solution, I finally hit upon a really cheap, reusable and simple solution - I know it&#039;s only 2 days in but I don&#039;t think I&#039;ll top this hack in 2015:</p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://mb002.metrob.us/transfers/hack.JPG" alt="http://mb002.metrob.us/transfers/hack.JPG" /></span></p>]]></content>
