No bad surprises from this filament, will definitely order another when this one is depleted.

OK but not good for high temperature
One important thing to note is the max temperature of 215 C. For my Makerbot, at 230 degrees this filaments gets smokey sometimes and the prints can have really sticky raft. Print at 215 or 220 C for best results.

Flawless as usual
This is great, easy-to-use filament. I ended up printing with a higher extruder temperature than other reviewers (230) with a 50 degree bed, but I do that with most PLA filiments, I suspect I just have a slightly-wonky thermistor in my extruder.

terrible, terrible, terrilble
I have bought a lot of 1.75mm filament from Robotshop and for most of it there has been no problems but the last few spools of black PLA have been terrible and unusable. This plastic will not print and the infill is bumping and saggy. I am using a Makergear M2 and I have tried reducing temperature, changing speed, fan/no-fan but nothing works. I switched to another color and no problems but this black PLA is awful!

Thank you
This filament printed really well for me. I'm new to 3D printing and was happy that in the first test prints I've done with the filament I haven't heard a crackle or pop. it was vacuum packed with desiccant and got to me dry. I ran stock slicer and machine PLA settings and didn't need to learn to "dial in" any settings... I have the feeling that I won't really appreciate this filament until I have a bad experience.
