    Ok guys, Here is how my day went.


    I took my extruders off my machine, and got my old ones out, the ones where one of the nozzles got damaged by this particular filament (I did not want to mess up my new extruders just testing this , These already cost me the stock dual extruders that come with the machine.. a replacement for Aussies is $405 AU, it aint cheap.)

    The pictures speak for themselves.

    Just a note for you guys, if you notice filament coming out like this STOP NOW - DO NOT USE IT. This is how you get foreign particles in your nozzle that can't be dislodged. Just stop using the filament and email them, no matter who you bought it off.

    In doing these tests I used the nozzle from the old dual extruder that never had a problem, well.. guess what? It is now irreversibly blocked unless I drill it out. So there goes my spare backup extruder.



    Now... Some might say "Oh I can see the second shark has spots, but it doesn't look so bad"

    This was the 25th or 26th attempt..

    The nozzles kept blocking, I had to unblock them so many times I needed a beer.




    So.. When I say the Entire roll is useless to me, I am not kidding!
