I am writing this post purely for myself. Although it may be useful to someone. To count the remaining plastic on the spool, you need to know its weight. And what if this is the first spool and there are no empties?
VVM Filament has spools for black PETG plastic (1kg) of this type:
A convenient hole on the side to visually orient yourself regarding the amount of remaining plastic. But to know the weight of the filament, you need to weigh the spool with the filament and subtract the weight of the empty spool. On average, this is about 190 grams.
Spools from green spool and made of ABS plastic.
Regarding Military Edge (3kg):
Here the discrepancy is almost 10 grams, so it's better to orient yourself to the larger value of ~ 652 grams. These spools are unmarked and do not have a hole for visual assessment of the remaining amount (maybe there is some name for that little hole, who knows).

Як виглядає кінець нитки філаменту на котушці VVM філамент?

В чаті ДрукАрмії було питання щодо того, як виглядає кінець нитки. Нижче додаю фото. Мій P1S витягую цей кінець і втягує в себе без проблем. Якщо я правильно розумію, пластикові коліщатка на AMS не зможуть з таким працювати.
Якщо підрізати край ножем, все одно залишається гачок.
Ось так виглядає після обрізки ножем:
