Review on High-Quality Melca Black PLA 3D Printer Filament, 1Kg Spool, 1.75Mm Diameter With Precise Tolerance by Jim Kriegshauser

I haven't even tried to print with this stuff yet and already the experience with it is so bad that I will never consider getting this brand of filament again.First, the filament arrive in a completely torn up ziplock type bag bag - every reputable brand arrives in vacuum sealed bags for a reason - in a box that was not even sealed properly and no desiccant. Whether or not the filament was actually damaged by moisture in transit is completely down to luck. Second, and even worse, the spool it was on was broken. Upon examining it, it seems that it was a very flimsy spool to begin with. I can't even try to use this filament till I rewind it myself, which means it's going to sit unused until I empty another spool to put it on. Which, granted, won't be long - I run my printer close to 24/7 - but it's still a situation that should not happen. I would return it, but if this is how they shipped the first one I have no hope of a better experience with the replacement.At this point it hardly matters how good the filament itself is. It was packed and shipped so poorly that I will never again buy this brand.UPDATE: After spending several hours getting this stuff into a usable condition, I've got more to say about it. When it prints it prints great. When it prints. However, it's very brittle and breaks constantly - about every third time I try to use it - which has resulted in numerous failed prints. This could be due to moisture absorption due to the completely unacceptable way it was packaged or it could just be the filament itself. I'm not sure which. Either way, after using the filament my 1 start rating stands.
