Filament hoarding syndrome is expensive!

General Troubleshooting/Help!

So after I went a little nuts on my last order, and got 17 (rookie numbers for some) additional rolls in matte and other new colors, I went to add them to my 3dfilament profiles account to keep track of what I have.

I noticed my list of spools now spans 2 pages. Between what I have on hand and counting up the empty spools I've already gone through, I've purchased over 70!! rolls since getting my first printer in February. Those rolls now surpass the cost of the P2S combo I bought! 😬 I really fell hard into this hobby, and getting All The Filaments can be quite addicting! I think I need to pause my purchases a bit and burn through more stock before I order any more rolls. But will I??
