Anything I can do to prevent this?
Basically title, the top mount broke so I screwed the mount to a bench. Only seems to be happening with this filament though as I've been running this setup for at least 6 months.
I think this can be caused by a filament that requires dehumidification .
Yup, looks like filament that took on moisture. Stick it in a bag with some silic get packs or a food dehydrator
I third this. Though, I recommend being careful with the food dehydrator, sometimes, they don't go low enough heat wise. Sometimes, the thermostats say one temp and it goes above at the top of the stack. generally, it should be tried at a little less than half the printing temperature (technically, below the glass transition temperature.).
also, it should be kept in there for some time to allow the moisture to equalize out. I usually put desiccant packs in the top to recharge them and store them with the filament.

I think that filament is very wet and needs to be dried immediately.
I'm surprised this filament isn't a liquid at this point
Some filaments absorb moisture and are more susceptible than moisture problems than others, sometimes it's worse from color to color and brand to brand.
Store filament in a dry box to prevent this, and use a food dehydrator to fix this
Don't put your filament in the oven you will ruin both the roll and your oven!
