Gizmo DorksHips Filament for 3D Printers 1.75mm 5kg, Gray

I've pretty much ran thru the entire roll and didn't get a single successful print, big or small. Even a cube... I've tried all the troubleshooting and it all leads to this roll.

Prints easily.It's more flexible than ABS. I print with 0.6 nozzle, 0.4 layer height, at 245C with 110C bed and 20% cooling fan. Printer is X-Max from QIDI. Will add photo of helmet when completed.

I've ordered the big spools of the Gizmodorks filament, several times. I was extremely happy with the quality of it, especially for continuous prints that last days. But this batch, its terrible. I ordered back in April, and jsut got around to using it this past weekend (printer was down and in need of repairs). First sign something was bad, the first top layer of filament ( about 20 feet) had kinks and bends in it. I removed that section, and everything looked ok. The filament had a differant "feel" to it than previously purchased ones.Started my print, wouldn't adhere to the bed. kept popping off. Added masking tape to bed, filament popped off that. Tried a 3rd time, and first layer went done great. Go to bed, wake up, and print failure. Took a look closer, and the failure was caused by the filament not adhering to itself. There was some of the usualy bird nest, but there was tiny pieces of filament all over the bed. It looked like the filament was shaving itself off. I dont know how this happened either. Swapped out for some other filament, and printed the same exact g-code, it printed fine. If I was still in the time frame to return the filament, I would.

I had nothing but a bad experience with this, from it being very brittle & breaking easily. To it clogging up my printers print head & tubes. Bad experience all the way around.
