All are reliable. The fault lies not in our filament suppliers but in us. Proper handling of spools prevents tangling. Never let the free end of the filament loose. Don’t use spool holders with a vertical axis. When you take filament off the machine, insert the free end of the filament into the holes in the flanges of the spool. The final step is to use a spool holder that prevents filament from jumping over the flanges (fresh PLA spools are the worst for this). Filament holders like that have rollers that contact the edges of the flanges, thus preventing jump-offs.

E suns abs has always done me right and ive never had an issue with the spooling. They have a deal on amazon for 5 rolls at about 70$

It printed amazingly smooth and seems like it gets rid of the problems with creating filament? Like no worries about spooling and storing. PLUS we then ground up our own Plastic pellets from garbage and could make 100% 3D prints! I made a little quick video to show the process!

Sunlu and eSun are always a good choice.
