preventing filament tangling on the spool in the MKS3+ enclosure?
Hi guys! First post here, I've built the MKs3+ from the kit and the enclosure, and am very happy with our first prints.
I have one outstanding issue which is that occasionally the "springy" filament (PLA prusament) gets tangled on the reel as it is being pulled off (it goes through a white tube into the top of the printer inside the enclosure), and if I don't notice soon enough, then the print is ruined.
This wasn't an issue before I put the printer in the enclosure, I assume it's because the filament is being pulled at a different angle now it's enclosed.
Can anyone recommend a filament reel clip or guide or any strategy I can use during the print to keep the filament from tangling? I've looked through the printables ones and some promising ideas there, but mostly for storage of filament. Many thanks for any tips, Nicky.

There are countless filament holders and feeding systems out there, mostly designed for special needs. To help you find the right one it‘s probably helpful to post some pictures of your setup and the problem you encounter with it…
