After printing some more... things only got worse

Mar 30, 2019

The filament is very tenacious. Printing it hotter is not ideal for print quality. But by dropping the temp a bit, you get occasional extruder skipping (which has never happened on my CR10 before with other filament). The color isn't constant. So you get the impression your layers are inconsistent (especially since you can see through it and see beyond the outer wall), while the surface is indeed normal. On my other printer, i tried printing on clean glass, and on glass+ hairspray. I got 7 failed prints because this *** won't stick. Finally seems to be sticking on my CR10 which has a PEI sheet.
There is a reason why Hobbyking isn't showing the true color of the filament. It's because it's ugly. Transparent (somewhat reflective) bright green. Not Glow In The Dark, for those wondering (due to the wrong color in the image provided by Hobbyking).
I would probably only buy this again at €5 per kilo. Contemplating of sending the second roll (unopened) back to Hobbyking for a refund.

Never again

Mar 23, 2019

First two prints, failed, because this "premium" filament, doesn't stick to a clean glass like the "cheap" hobbyking filament has always done without issue. This is transparent bright green. I bought 2 spools at a discount (€11,11) of this and regret it already.
