Thoughts on the filament shipped with SM2

I received 1kg black reel. It’s quite stringy compared to most pla filament I’ve used, especially at the recommended pla settings with snapmaker.

Found decreasing to 198 provided less stringiness. Other than that, it seems alright.

I was printing the filament at 190 without any issues. Some stringing but can be tuned to minimise this with retraction settings. Other than that I have had some really clean looking prints using the SM filament, very uniform layers and extrusion so seems good quality!

I also noticed less warping using this PLA compared to others I have tested so seems pretty good overall to me!

It’s not bad, but it’s not great either IMO. I prefer Hatchbox.
