Tip 1:
You will need a digital kitchen weight scale which can measure in grams. (suggestion - https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Grips-Stainless-Pull-Out-Display/dp/B079D9B82W/)
When you get a fresh roll of filament, before you use said filament, weigh it. Turn on the kitchen scale and set it to read in grams (or kilograms). Put the filament on the scale. You know you were sent 1 kilogram of filament. Simply subtract 1000 grams (or 1 kilogram) from the weight reading of the scale. With a marker pen, write the remainder somewhere on the spool.
In the future when you have used part of the filament and want to know how much filament remains on that spool, re-weigh the spool of filament using the grams setting. Subtract the spool weight which you wrote on the spool at the beginning. The remaining weight is the amount of filament left on the spool (in grams)
Tip 2:
If the relative humidity in the printing room is above 30%, consider adding a filament dryer to the V400 filament feed.
In these images, I used Capricorn tubing Capricorn Kit and tubing unions Tubing Unions. The tubing inserts come with the kit. The Holder STL model uses the larger diameter inserts. I printed the holders (2 each) with PLA.
