Black PLA Filament, 500g, 1.75mm Diameter Review

For things I've printed where I didn't care about looks and didn't need precision, it was regular filament. For anything I needed precision or smoothness, it was a whole different matter. So I'll use it for test prints, prototypes and such, but I don't think I'll buy it again. 3 stars, I've had worse but bought this one because it was a nice blue color and was hoping for a little better quality.

I bought this string for $15 thinking it was automatically lower quality string and I was right. However, I did not expect the thread to be so brittle and have such poor tolerances. During the extrusion you could hear the filament creaking, which I've never heard from filament. This was because it was being bent in the extruder, resulting in uneven layers. Really sticky and failed after a 29 hour torture test when it stopped typing after 15 hours due to a clogged nozzle. 10/10 would definitely…

I was looking for a cheap PLA so I bought it to try. I've had nothing but problems straight out of the bag! The filament was not vacuum sealed, which should have been my first clue. The first 6 feet of the coil (I'm not exaggerating) was so brittle that I couldn't bend it, it just snapped off. I've been doing this for a few years now so I understand that some moisture will end up getting in and making it brittle, but I've never had to lose that much. Getting this material through my printer…
