What brand is that? Because that's super out of line, I don't want to be buying that myself or I'd be pretty annoyed

Don't worry, they don't sell it anymore. I got a lot bulk for cheap more than a year ago and am still going through it

Ahh well fair enough, still that's some widely different widths, what width is it meant to be?

Supposed to be 1.75mm plastic.

What brand though? Most brands are just manufactured rebranding.

For scale, the super thin strand on the right is about 1mm and the thickest is about 3.2mm. Didn't make it past the PTFE tube into the bowden extruder

edit; and this isn't even me holding it in stands or anything, here's the whole loop: https://i.imgur.com/HZUZPIz.jpg

Probably shouldn't have taken this with a white wall background
