Comment on Crappy filament?

Sounds like it was just a small section of incorrectly mixed (possibly contaminated) filament at either the beginning or end of a production batch. When they start mixing the plastics there can be some irregularities in the flow of materials and you get a bit more of one thing and a bit less of another. That’s normally cut away and discarded once everything is flowing correctly. Sometimes it’s missed or they didn’t cut enough.
I’d consider it a one off, or very rare incident, and not a general overall quality issue unless it starts happening regularly.

Yeah. The good news is after cutting off the problematic part of the spool, the rest of it has been printing very nicely and I’m already halfway done the spool.
