Shaxon PLA from Fry's Electronics - Mini Review

[Felixusaprinters.com]

Stay away !!! There are enough reviews on Amazon of there ABS alone....We have tried various filaments, even chinese filaments worked better than this crap. I have wasted 1 complete 2lb Roll and did not print one single usable piece ! Just to be sure we bought various colors, some of them were better than others, but there was no logic. The filament diameter also varies very much over a small piece of length. Almost every usage resulted in this kind of mess (tried print temps from 175 - 200). I think the black PLA is the most consistent one, but yeah that was only one roll..

The blue color resulted in such a mess, that for the FIRST time we had to usea 0.35mm drill, although manually, to unclog our Felix 3.0 V4 extruder.

Please post a link to the review. I cannot find any Shaxon filament on Amazon so until you provide a link I am calling you out. I know this is my first post here and I could be anyone, but I have 4 rolls of this filament, 3 ABS(black, florescent green, red) and one of PLA. All 3 rolls of the ABS have had nominal diameter variances, and the PLA was more consistent then the Makerbot PLA for the first half of the roll until I hit one large spot that looked like a kink from when they were spooling it. I do get filament bits like the picture above but only when the hobbed bolt slips and digs a hole in the filament after my spool holder gets stuck.

I have to say for 25 dollar filament this is well worth the money.
