Does anyone have a brand of PLA they like that offers refillable spools? I'm digging Overture and Elegoo using cardboard spools but if I could get/print a refillable one and buy just the filament itself going forward that would be an even nicer solution.

I use this spool: https://www.printables.com/model/129989

In the description they list several suppliers for refill spools. Personally I am using “DasFilament” and Recyclingfabrik. Both are from Germany so they will probably not be of much help for you.

They also have a printable spool with a place for the nametag stickers and a filament gauge, they look kinda neat: https://recyclingfabrik.com/shop/multispool-digitaler-download/

Would be even nicer if they would follow the standard size instead of being 2 mm off in each dimension compared to the nearest “standard”
