I started ordering polymaker coming from overture. Both brands had swapped to cardboard spools. But as mentioned polymaker has a file uploaded to printables to print a ring border so they can roll easier. Especially since the cardboard rolls can get dented if shipped haphazardly.

But I've gotten lucky, and the spools I have received with cardboard haven't been damaged. But I have considered printing a few of these just in case...

2 of 2 polymaker 1 kg spools I've purchased (from Amazon) arrived with dents along their outer lip. I bent them back and, although the result wasn't perfect, didn't have any problems. It does have rethinking my spool holder design so they rotate around their inner lip though.
