I started printing what should have been quick easy prints at 9am..
I'm not done yet.
It would be quicker to tell you what went right.
Absolutely nothing.
I'm surprised my printers aren't in a thousand pieces in the back yard..
Filament not sticking, stringing, filament won't load because wound shitty from the factory.
Anyone ever have a bambu refillable spool come apart in your AMS with a full load of filament?
FML..

and yes..I'm to bull headed and or stupid to walk away..
To say that you are on thin ice would be a vastly optimistic view of your current situation. The ice has melted. You are being supported by the surface tension of water.

Those spools literally lock closed with a click. Did you not lock it all the way?

I just printed a spool that has a little extra locking tab that snaps in and prevents the halves from coming back apart.  It's pretty slick.

It took like 9.5 hours to print both halves though.

I have the bambu ones and it was one of those that came apart. The spool had been in my ams for weeks with no issue.

oh yeah, had one of those months with 1 of my h2d. first eddy sensor left was bad, then fixed that and they said the board was bad, then a wire harness bad, then the x axis toolhead entire piece, replaced that, got it working only to realize i destroyed my wedding ring by hitting it on something and opening the channel and popping out diamonds. LOL.....

luckily found all the diamonds, and everything is fixed.
