Some of these are interesting enough that I have picked them up despite them not being my main gaming scale.
Here’s the spools I have weighed so far. Sizes to be added as I get to them.
eSun 5KG spool: 786gm
eSun 3KG spool: 633gm
eSun 1kg spool: 260gm
Polymaker 3KG plastic spool: 412gm for a PLA one, 430gm for an ASA spool so far.
3DFillies 3KG spool: 702gm
Standard Print Co. 3KG plastic spool: 458gm
Assuming an XY resolution of 35µm, I believe these are the angles which will produce a step-free flat surface. This is obviously not possible for every surface of most models but if there’s one you particularly want to be step-free, give this a shot:
0.01: 15.94539590091
0.02: 29.74488129691
0.03: 40.6012946451
0.04: 48.81407483431
