    I've had my printer for about a year and a half and I decided to try some Colorfabb filament from Printed Solid, but I'm having an issue. I tried printing a watch stand. On the right is the silver Colorfabb, which failed and the filament stopped feeding. On the left os some bronze PLA i picked up from Fry's, and it printed perfectly. What could be causing the issues with the Colorfabb?

    Not sure why the bronze worked, but the failed one looks like what happens to me when i don't use an oiler.. Try an oiler?

    Silver Colorfab for me (2 rolls) has been very stable, but I use an oiler and a volcano. The lilac prints like crap no matter what I do.

    I'd say try an oiler.
