That's a shame, as you will be missing out on some really good filament. They advertise that their Panchroma lines can go in an AMS as it has a sealant and I've had no issues. If it still bothers you, I'm not 100% sure if you can do it on Panchroma, but on my Elegoo cardboard spools (the ones I want to put in my AMS), I rip off the cardboard and stick it in a plastic spool. The 1st time took a bit, but now the whole process takes me less than 2 minutes.

Polymaker is from the best filament on the market. I'm saying this from personal experience as I have close to 500 rolls of filament at home. You won't find it much on SD as it almost never goes on sale. If you ever have any issues, they have outstanding CS and will help you with any issues including print profiles (all though they have json's on their site to import in to your slicer)

I got an amazing deal (well, price mistake) on 40 spools of overture petg that all came on cardboard spools so I quickly adapted. The printed edge mod works plenty fine for my AMS and drier rollers. I'd prefer reusable plastic spools but the adapter edges has worked flawlessly for about 30 of those spools at this point lol.

Really never tried Polymaker before? They're probably the single most well-known filament brand that's been around since the beginning. They used to be one of the only quality filaments back in the day, but a lot of the brands (Sunlu manufactures for a lot of brands) have caught up now.

Community Reviews

Polymaker Panchroma Starlight PLA is being praised as attractive, high quality decorative filament, with the sparkle and satin colors standing out in person and the non abrasive glitter easing concerns. The price around $12.99 is seen as especially strong for trying a premium brand, and the filament is described as working well in AMS setups, dryers, and dry boxes. The main caution is the cardboard spool, which can be awkward in some AMS systems and may need adapters, tape, or respooling. A solid pick for eye catching prints if the spool format fits your setup.

Cardboard spool is a full-stop for me.
Haven't used cardboard yet, but have some empty bambu spools, can I just respool it on that if the cardboard sucks?

You can. I'm sure there are Youtube videos of it. I think there are some 3D printed jigs that can help too.


I print from my dryer and it does not like carboard.


It's nice looking filament though.

Agreed. My Elegoo cardboard spools start to fail before I reach the end of the spool. I usually end up pulling the cardboard sides off and using an old Bambu spool.

I also had another promotion that stacked on top of this deal, an "up to 20% off if you qualify" limited time deal:

8% off any 2,
10% off any 3,
12% off any 5,
15% off any 15,
20% off any 20

I ordered 5 rolls and they all dropped to $11.43 each, plus I get 6% back for using my Amazon card. Overall a great deal. I really like this brand of filament.

This ^. Plus if you don't want to do that you can just put electrical tape on the edges too.

Ordered 20 spools just to get the additional 20% discount. SD mode activated! 😂

ETA: Polymaker works great in my four AMS units. As others have mentioned, the edges are treated and it rolls like plastic. Anyone avoiding it because of the cardboard is missing out on some great filament.

You can also print rims for cardboard spools if you're afraid the dust is gonna jam up your mutlifilament system.
