Feedback for use 2300gr Spool on Prusa I3 MK3S

Hello everyone, recently i've buy a 2300gr Formfutura Spool of PLA.

In your opinion, could placing it in the original reel holder give me problems? Can the extruder pull the filament from such a large spool?

Thanks in advance!

If it fits on the holder and the holder stands solid, printing from it will work fine.

Pulling filament into the extruder from a spool isn't a problem, unless there is too much friction. The extruder will have to pull slightly harder, but with PLA that's no issue, it can pull harder if need be.

I've used 2.3kg Filaprint spools of PLA before with no issues.
