Filament won't adhere? (lemmy.ca)

ISOLEYIN Ultra PLA 3D Printing Filament 1kg, 1.75mm

I got two spools of this stuff (black and white). First few prints with the white went perfectly. Since then, it won't adhere normally.

I've tried increasing the bed temperature to 60, filament temperature to 210, washed the bed and reapplied the glue, dried the filament.. nothing works.

When I try a raft, it blobs through it, and then won't adhere to itself.

I'm assuming it's me, but idk what I'm doing wrong.

Please be kind, I've only had my printer for a couple of months.

Filament not sticking to itself sounds pretty unusual.. Found this review on youtube. The channel has 6 subscribers and I have no idea if it's legit or disguised marketing, but all the comments mention similar problems as yours. There's also this review, with more negative comments. One person says they managed to get good prints by raising the print temp even more, but don't do that if you have a PTFE lined hotend. I.e. only try higher temps if you know for sure that you have an all metal hotend.

I guess that's why it was on super sale then... oof. Thank you!
