God damnit Bambu Labs. Print fails 5 hours into a 6 hour print.

Take it easy, we all made this mistake at one point in our 3D printing lives. Just be more careful with the loose end next time.

This was a news roll, and the twist was about 20% into the roll. So, unless we’re expected to completely unroll every new spool to check for this, you’ll never see it until it you reach the problem.
You only have to check the end, since it's physically impossible for it to be twisted somewhere in the middle of the roll during production. Think about it: both ends are fixed during the spooling process at the factory.
Once you do have a twist in your filament however, it's not uncommon for it to be pushed down further and further down the roll during printing.

Out of the bag, into the AMS, started printing. Finger on the filament the entire time until I snipped it and inserted it into the AMS feed tube. Filament was tight when I inserted it or else I would have checked.
I'll be checking all of them from now on.
