This is my first time buying PolyMax PLA - I got this gorgeous Teal color but it seems super brittle. It snapped when I took it out of the bag the first time and pulled the end out of the spool-hole, and then it broke twice during it's first hour of printing.

Or did I just get a bad batch?

Have you tried drying it? I have found that some PLA becomes brittle when wet / exposed to atmo for a long time

It's in the dryer at home now. I was just surprised that out of the box/bag it was like that. I reached out to support also on this.

Yeah they did reach out to me and offer to send a new spool. I do ❤️ the polymaker team 🙂
