Like you, I've got a little assortment of spools I either printed or modified for this purpose - and in different sizes - and they work great. I'm at the point of getting spoolless filament when I can and I haven't seen a downside yet.

But if I'm going to get a new spool with my filaments, I'd prefer it be cardboard.
