    So I am trying bluprint, and can not get it to stick at all. Hairspray, glue, tape, combos, nothing sticks. tried so many temp settings it is not funny. I got it off amazon, so any chance it might be fake?

    So what bed temp are you using?
    It wants it rather high...

    BluPrint

    Print temp = 265C - 270C
    Print bed = Glass heated to 95C

    current temps are 250/95. tried 260/108 as well, but nothing. 110 is limit on bed but if i put in anything over 108 it hardware errors.

    It works fine for me at 245/90 (glass with hairspray). I did once have to bump the bed a little for a taller model.
    You can always resort to a raft (but I personally hate doing that).

    Everyones temps are different anyway

    You might try a bit hotter though on the extrude.

    My temps can run a lot lower on the volcano adapter (10-15 degrees lower on average).

    went to 275/95, one thing I am noticing is it is very brittle. Still not sticking any but it breaks up easily.

    Then I would suggest you do indeed have a bad spool. If you can't work that out with the seller/Amazon contact Taulman. They may well swap it for you.

    I contacted Taulman, and not 10 minutes later I got a response asking for my address to send me a spool.
    I really believe what I have is counterfeit, the spool it is on looks nothing like any of Taulman's labels, and the spool is different all together from the one it looks to be on. Here is a pic of what I have. Awesome CS, and I will only buy direct from them from now on.

    Always good to go through the distributor or someone like @Printed Solid . He has always taken very good care of me from parts, filament all the way through entire printers.

    Taulman is awesome in support. I really don't mind buying their products because they will be certain I have a good experience with them. If you get stuff from @Printed Solid he will take care of you as well regardless of brand (I am sure ColorFabb is just as good as Taulman in that regard).
