Is it possible for the leftover residue, of tape on a spool to be scraped into the feed? As the filament drags over the edges of the spool?

    Honestly , I just clip the 2-3” off the front and not worry about it. It’s a minuscule amount of plastic

    If you’re trying to be ultra frugal, yes, you can probably clean it off with a solvent. IPA might work. Goo gone would but introduces all sorts of other contaminants.

      I admit I tried using every gram. Still I found some of the tape residue on the inside of the spool. Thanks for the advice.
