I bought this thread hoping the quality would be decent. When attempting to print fresh from a vacuum pack, this was the worst taut, tightly wound, brittle filament I have ever dealt with UNTIL I dried it overnight in my homemade filament dryer at 50C. Now it prints just as well as any other filament I've bought. No lacing issues, tears or tangles.
