  • Sounds like it was just a small section of incorrectly mixed (possibly contaminated) filament at either the beginning or end of a production batch. When they start mixing the plastics there can be some irregularities in the flow of materials and you get a bit more of one thing and a bit less of another. That’s normally cut away and discarded once everything is flowing correctly. Sometimes it’s missed or they didn’t cut enough.

    I’d consider it a one off, or very rare incident, and not a general overall quality issue unless it starts happening regularly.














  • Not really. Over half the woodworking channels I watch never count the cost of materials that they already own when they total up the cost.

    I’m kind of ok with them not counting the cost of tools, but the materials need to be counted, especially when they are doing something like “how to build a desk for under $50.”
