if you have an AMS and cardboard, an awesome find has been these hobby lobby $3.50 reusable spools. Works perfect converting cardboard spools over to my AMS 2 Pro. I too had problems with cardboard spools before this. Super easy to convert cardboard spools, takes 30 seconds.
been using cardboard spools for years now in my AMS.
just print rings if you're concerned, it doesn't take much time at all... most companies these days put a nice coating around the edged of the cardboard spools as well making it irrelevant, Elegoo does this as well on recent rolls i've gotten from them directly.
ELEGOO Rapid PLA, PLA Plus, and Rapid PETG are described as fast, reliable filament that prints well and compares favorably with Creality Hyper and other PLA brands. The cardboard spools are the main friction point, especially for AMS setups, where they can flex, bind, or need printed rings or reusable spool conversions. Packaging also seems inconsistent, with rolls sometimes arriving taped together or damaged in transit. A solid filament pick if the spool handling works for your setup.
Owners of AMS printers who can use cardboard spools, because the filament feeds smoothly and prints well in AMS setups.
It can work in AMS units, but cardboard spools are the main risk point. Some users run ELEGOO cardboard rolls in AMS v1/v2 with no issues, while others report feed pauses when the cardboard flexes or the roll sits crooked; printed rings or a reusable spool can help.
The Rapid PLA+ is described as some of the best PLA used, and Rapid PETG is reported to print great with no spool issues. A few users also say ELEGOO filament works as well as Creality Hyper series and keeps printing reliably over long-term use.
Packaging can be rough: orders have arrived as five rolls taped together, sometimes with torn boxes or damaged rolls, and one shipment was refunded after missing rolls. Other orders arrived intact, so the shipping method appears inconsistent.
If your printer will not arrive until Christmas, it may be better to wait because Black Friday can bring good filament deals. The filament itself is standard 1.75mm and should work with most printers, with PLA recommended as the easiest starting material.
misinfo, bordering on malinfo. I have had zero issues with my ams and i exclusively by cardboard spools. Dont even need the retarded rings. Just put it in the AMS and be done.
Just bought from the last Elegoo eBay sale and it came beat. Just 5 rolls taped together and gofo must have dropped it a bunch.
Same! I actually made two orders - the first came in a box with all 5 rolls inside, the second came just like yours. Two of the boxes were actually torn up and were missing the rolls! I contacted Elegoo and they refunded me my money. They told me that they ship orders taped together and that the box should not have been sent... never ordering from them again.

I don't have AMS, but based on other comments and posts, why not use the plastic ring on the roll? Many vendors even have STL files for it on their websites.
The plastic rings around the cardboard kept the AMS lid from closing on the two 2 I tried. One ring was for Creality and I can't remember the other one. Not being able to close means my AMSs are no longer dry boxes. : \
I still use plenty of cardboard spools but prefer plastic due to multiple reasons.
I may try the rings again now that I've read some other comments.
