Revainrating 1 out of 5

Incredibly fragile

I love the translucent finish and the clear, beautiful details. I needed higher temperatures than Ultibot's Pla: 195 head/75 bed. But for some reason the filament becomes brittle when sitting in the car. I haven't had any crashes while printing, but now about five times after a print is finished and the machine just sits there, the filament spontaneously detaches. The next yard or two of thread is fairly brittle (easily broken with your fingers), then it becomes mostly flexible again. So I cast out a few yards of thread and do the load-up ritual. I haven't heavily stressed the built parts yet, so I don't know if the starting parts are brittle. On a scale of 0 (Hatchbox returned to Revain) to 10 (Ultibots) it's a 5: Fragile breakage is so annoying I only buy it again when I run out of filament and need another day of Revain. ----Update: Let's do it 2. I printed maybe 0.25kg. The first few prints, no problem. The filament then became brittle and broke after each print, for about ten more prints. Annoying because the filament has to be reloaded every time, but it hasn't messed up the print yet. Today it broke in the middle of a print and messed up the print so I pulled the spool out. Luckily a few spools of Ultibots filament arrived yesterday so I'm back to printing with good stuff. Looks like this coil is making a return to Revane. :in(
