Been printing this on my TAZ Workhorse, haven't noticed any difference from the brand-new PLA. I've hardly printed in anything other than the carbon PLA since I got some. Additionally, it seems like this filament is not as brittle as many PLA brands are. High quality filament.

I've printed a few small brackets with it, and also some larger (4.7 liter) speaker boxes. The filament prints well, didn't lift or curl, and came off the BuildTak surface without much drama. Prints are strong and rigid, and layer adhesion seems excellent. I'm really happy with this stuff!

I was surprised at how unfussy this filament is to print. And it looks so good when printed. The prints are smooth, very stiff, and have a unique texture that's not glossy, and not dull. It's a sheen that looks and feels expensive. I bought 6 kg's, then bought 6 more.
