Quality vs Prices

I have already bought well over 100kg of filament from Bambu Lab, but it seems to me that the quality of the windings has now deteriorated greatly and at the same time the price has become higher. Or rather, the discounts have been reduced.

Is Bambu Lab suddenly getting some kind of arrogance or what is going on ?

Nope, it has been going on for a while.

If we restrict this solely to filaments.

  • With spool, often are not wound correctly and end up jamming
  • The refills are often too tight and let filament fall between the roll and the edges of the spool itself, often too fat so the spool sides cannot lock together, and often wound poorly so they will tangle up.
  • Both with spool and refills, there is a chance the end of the roll has tape on it and will jam in the printer and stop the print because no auto refill will occur.

Reports of these things have been strong for some time.

It isn’t that they are “getting [arrogant]”, they are simply becoming more so.

Quality is down and the amount they care has also fallen.

I could not have characterized this better myself.
