If they're anything like the Eryone (if I remember correctly) 250g spools I had some time back, you can print an adapter to stick them in an AMS. It just needs to take the diameter and thickness up. I've probably got the model in Fusion if you get stuck finding one - may need adapting for the core size if it's different though.
 
Both mine got cancelled, annoyingly the first order went through at 09:50 and it seems like they dispatched everything up to 09:47.
 
Been doing industrial style panel electrics lately. Some power jacks came with the wrong nuts - so big you could slide them on and off the threads without turning them. I'm bound to have a spare nut somewhere that'll fit, what size are they? They're.....M11x1.0....?! Yeah, not going to have any of those about. 3D print them! So I made mine 15mm AF instead of 14mm and 3mm thick instead of 2mm - you know, because plastic rather than metal. First ones were a bit tight so I pushed the thread faces out by 0.1mm and they're good. Just for curiosity I thought I'd see if I could break one of the ones destined for the bin. Not with my hands, no. Pair of pliers...yes but pleasingly strong. Tried it on one of the metal nuts.....way less force to collapse it than my PETG-GF version! :D

Fixing some crappy furniture too. Made a replacement part with a barbed cylinder that fits in a hole in MDF - sort of like a wall plug but not expanding. Then found I had to take it out and redesign it because I'd not spotted something would collide with my part. Literally took a (baby) crowbar to get it out. This stuff's great!

This entire case is printed out of the stuff, threads and all :D
