⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Alex Turner - DIY Enthusiast
"I’ve been using the Base Model cardboard spools for my home 3D printing setup since February 2025, and I’m thoroughly impressed. The spools are lightweight, stack neatly, and have completely eliminated filament tangles. I love that they’re made from 100% recycled material—small step for me, big step for sustainability. Custom labels with my logo make my workshop look professional. After 5 months of regular use, they still hold up well, even in my slightly humid garage."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jenna Park - Product Design Studio
"We switched to the Advanced Model in October 2024 to align with our eco-conscious branding, and it’s been a game-changer. The full-color custom printing looks fantastic—our clients notice and compliment the sustainable packaging. The reinforced core handles 50mm filaments without issue, and stacking 10 high saves us so much shelf space. We’ve cut filament prep time in half thanks to the easy access. No issues with moisture, even in our open studio environment."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marcus Reed - R&D Engineer
"Our lab needed a durable, eco-friendly solution for managing over 50 filament types. The Pro Model, purchased in January 2025, delivers on both fronts. The water-resistant coating is essential in our high-humidity testing area, and the adjustable 60mm core fits even our specialty composite filaments. We’ve stacked them 15 high on reinforced shelving—no warping or collapse. Integration into our workflow has been seamless, and disposal is guilt-free. These spools outperform plastic ones in organization and sustainability."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Taylor Nguyen - Community Makerspace
"We’ve been testing the Base Model since November 2024 across 12 printers. The spools are easy for members to handle and store, and the biodegradability aligns with our green mission. Kids love the custom-printed designs we added. Only downside: one spool warped slightly after accidental water exposure, but that’s expected with cardboard. For the price and planet, it’s a solid 4 stars. Would love a slightly thicker edge option in the future."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months

Dr. Elena Martinez - Circular Economy & Additive Manufacturing Researcher
"These cardboard spools represent a meaningful shift toward sustainable 3D printing. With 100% recycled content and full biodegradability, they address the growing waste issue from plastic spools. The ASTM D5511 certification for 90-day decomposition is impressive for a load-bearing product. I recommend them for educational institutions and eco-focused startups aiming to reduce their carbon footprint."
Jordan Lee - Additive Manufacturing Efficiency Specialist
"From a workflow perspective, the stackable design and quick filament access improve operational efficiency by up to 30% in multi-printer environments. The Pro Model’s compatibility with large-diameter filaments makes it viable even in industrial settings. When paired with proper storage protocols, these spools perform on par with—sometimes better than—traditional plastic alternatives."
