exact weight of an empty prusa pla-spool ?
hi guys.
now my first pla-spool that came with the i3 mk2 kit is nearly empty.
unfortunately i forgot to weigh the spool and note the weight before starting to print (which i later discovered is a very good idea).
❓ can somebody provide the exact weight for the empty spool ?
➡ so that i can weigh mine, calculate the difference and deduce if the remaining filament is sufficient for the next planned print.
thanks in advance !

thanks Joan, that gives me at least a reference point.
unfortunately ... or luckily, there are often a few 10gr of filament more (rarely less) at each spool.

Did you eventually find out how much a spool weighs?

no sorry, my genuine prusa spool still has some filament left, because I've decided to print the project from the end of april with filament made by Herz.
so I meanwhile I can tell you the exact weight of the empty spools that Herz uses for their filaments (which is exactly 225 g).

Many thanks!
Meanwhile, I unwound my Prusa (Natureworks, I guess) 1 kg black PLA spool and found that it weighs 207 g.
Best regards,
