Inland PLA
I'm new to 3D printing and everything is going great except for the spool which is tangled within the spool. Every 5 hrs I have to stop printing, pull out a few yards from the spool, detangle and reroll. Why is the roll tangled in the first place? Is this typical of this brand? I don't trust it for big projects or to leave…

Ender 3 Pro: removing filament purge around print
Is there a way to remove the thin layer of initial purge that surrounds the print before printing? It is so thin that scraping gouges my surface. Various bed temps haven't helped. I'm sure there is a trick out there.
