Hatchbox ABS black and clear black

Been having a lot of failures lately with printing. Anyone else using hatchbox and having issues? Filament quality gone downhill?

Just got a kilo of black and it’s jammed up my print head four times. Switched from that to some clear black and I got some massive warping, 1/4” lift that popped my print (about 6”x3.5”) off with a spaghetti failure about halfway through. I’ve never had warping this bad.

    Personally, Hatchbox ABS has been one of my least favorite (read: pickiest) filaments. To each their own, but my luck with it has been less than stellar.

    I’ve switched to consistently using a glue stick and warping has largely ceased but had I not used it for my RatRig VCore3’s parts I would no longer be buying it lol. Definitely had more than my fair share of failures with it if all conditions aren’t ideal.

      Well that’s too bad. I’ve been using them for years and they’ve been pretty consistent up until now. Might have to switch brands.

        Yeah I’m honestly not sure. I haven’t read that many similar reports to the issues I’ve had, which usually means it’s not a widespread issue…but all I can do is speak to my own experiences. Who knows lol ¯_(ツ)_/¯
