Are you sure you shouldn't be using 1.75mm filament

this is what i bought and its great

[e3d-online.com]

i just put my pla in the oven for about an hour at 85c and i wrapped my spool but after my pla cooled down for anther hour it now works much better and i cut off the top rap of it and all is good

lesson learned no more buy cheep pla from ebay

i did buy a multi try different colour abs from ridid.ink and its great feels and looks much better
