Makergeeks.com Filament Troubles

Hello, r/3Dprinting. On May 30th I bought some filament from Makergeeks, and this is a documentation of my experience.The entire package shipped out, and arrived on the 5th. This was just fine. Then I opened it, and they forgot my PVA filament.(bought a random-color lot of 2 colors of PETG, 1 surprise filament, and 1 0.5kg spool of eSUN PVA.)Not really a problem, the boxes are packaged by humans. Emailed and asked, they said it was out-of-stock, and they’re willing to either refund me the cost of the PVA or send it overnight when it comes in. Given that I’m impatient I asked for the refund and bought some PVA on Amazon. Same stuff, roughly same cost, overnight shipping.Printed a 3DBenchy using PETG, forgot to disable supports from the layer fan print. Disabled supports, re-sliced, checked it in Notepad++ to verify it’s okay G-code (sometimes Cura shits its pants.) and threw another through. All Hell broke loose- underextrusion up the wazoo, blown-out surfaces, a few blobs…It’s all out-of-round and varying in diameter from 1.72mm to 1.88mm. Not okay.I checked the yellow PLA as well, same thing. This is insane. Asking for a refund. Gonna test the PLA to see if it’s even actually PLA. http://ift.tt/1rcGstH
