    And even more unlikely to happen during production. Think about it, how would that work? Lift up the filament extruder, take out the spool, run around the extruder and continue after that?just to tangle the filament?

      That’s not how logic works. When’s the last time you’ve seen that specific manufacturing workflow? Citation needed.

      It’s really easy to make a clove hitch- One loop basically just needs to slide under another. It isn’t difficult to imagine that the machine could have a little bit of play or backlash that could affect the ends of a layer in this manner.

      I’ve actually seen similar things happen with winches used to drive automated effects in live entertainment.
