I am really looking forward to see this printing two different prints, or two parts of the same print!

Hello!
For the last 6 or so months I have been working on improving the user experience with plastic spools, reusable spools, and refills.
My solution was to design a reusable 100% metal spool.
I have called the project DryAF.
