Has anyone switched from low grade PLA to something nice, either PLA or ABS? I'm using the cheapest black pla that I could get from eBay/China, regretfully, and it just feels cheap. It feels almost porous and it is a matte color rather than my previous roll which was fairly glossy. Print quality is really bad, and now I can't get above 5 mm without jamming.
Its gets to a weird stage where it's still extruding but "clicks" every few mm more and more until it jams. What does print comes out with NO layer adhesion. I tried to pull a cube off the bed with pliers and ended up with a few different slices that split off very easily.
Sound familiar to anyone? Also note that I've tried everywhere from 165 to 230 degrees and temperature only had a marginal effect. Firmware has been updated to new thermistor and Z axis is calibrated. Thanks.
