Im working with an old reprap cotroled directly with an Laptop with cura. Filament is RS-Pro (2325395) Pla though. Open around 4 weeks ago but i have this problem in some capacity since i have this Filament. Before i had some really old pla which snapped all the time because it wss so brittle. Is this really just shitty Filament? Help/ Insight would be much appreciated.

    have you done a temp tower with it? maybe it doesn’t like your temp settings.

    I’ve used old filament plenty of times and usually it just gets stringy

    i think yours is a timing or temp problem

      I’ve tried multiple temp towers but they all failed because of the underextrution. So I tried benchys with with 190 and 220°C and have seen little difference. Then I just stuck to 200°C for no other reasons then I’ve used it before

        if it only happens with that filament, its probably just that.

        you could try some of the drying methods but that doesn’t look good at all

        if you’re sure the filament is good then you want to look at the print settings and physical tensions on the belts and gears. maybe you need to look at the spot where your printer is located. can it add any wobble? one trick in the prusa community is putting your printer on a heavy flat yard paver stone and a thin foam under the paver
