3D printer filament tangling

Then the first thing you should print is a spool holder.
I just have my rolls hanging from my roof using fishing line, basically no resistance, so they spin freely.

But that still doesn't change that what is occurring is basically impossible unless they physically melted the filament into this position.
I guess next time I'll think twice about paying $10 for 0.5kg of pla lol

Also my circuit board is a chinese knockoff but the connectors are all a japanese brand so to do wire extensions I need to wait 90 days for shipping.... Not sure what to do other than order generic single wire connectors and doing connections one by one rather than by stuff like a molex connector and whatnot.
I'm in kind of a clusterfuck of a situation and I'm trying to rig chinese knockoffs into something decent...

I want to move all my electronics to the top and my bowden extruder connection to the top of my printer. I bought the kit on aliexpress though so they chopped the wires and made them the exact distances with no room for play. But the funny thing is they gave me the wrong circuit board so it barely fits under the printer and I had to chop some wires anyway. If I showed an electrician my setup he'd probably be running to get a fire extinguisher lol

So the jap plugs can't connect to the chink plugs?
Such is life.
I teach DT at a school, so deal with a lot of kids with printers, so many of them with bad parts etc.
I decided to buy one myself, the cheapest I could, so I'd learn all the problems and be able to tell them how to fix them.
In the end, it was the best printer I've ever seen. Clear instructions, everything labeled properly, all parts fitted together perfectly, and it printed fine first go.
Basically, on aliexpress, you're gonna get some crazy mismatches. Just keep hacking at it till you get something good.

Well I'll try and get a filament holder tomorrow, I think I have a chunk of 1.5-inch pvc which should work
Australians are so horrible

There's absolutely nothing in that kink that defies the laws of physics.

What most likely happened is that you pulled the line straight and when it re-wound into it's loose shape one of the loops turned right instead of left.

Remove the filament, re-wind it onto the spool. hang the spool from the ceilingand re-pull your line.

There is no voodoo magic or cheap filament going on here your just too retarded to build/print a spool holder. I guarantee this issue will go away if you mount your spool instead of putting it on the floor where it cant freely roll
