I’ve been considering getting refills to reduce my plastic consumption, which means I would have to print master spools with PLA or PETG.

Because I don’t consume my filament quickly enough, I got the Sunlu S2 filament dryer, which heats up the filament to 50-60C.

My question is: would it be OK to put a master spool in the dryer, or could it potentially deform?

    Got it, so I should be safe if I print it in PETG. Thanks!

      Yeah, PETG or ABS/ASA would probably be my go-to. For what it’s worth, I’m pretty sure basically all commercial plastic spools are injection molded out of ABS.

      Use ASA. PETG will creep.

      ASA will creep significantly less. If you have fibre-filled materials they also excel in this regard but are probably overkill here.
