The comments we were given are about a bad print. A bad print is checked the same way as any other spool.
[Filament quality](/answers/filament_quality) is the defect list. [Good PLA prints](/answers/pla_print), [good PETG prints](/answers/petg_print), and [ABS printing](/answers/abs_print) are the process pages. [Budget filament](/answers/cheap) is the page that names brands without inventing a street price.

## What the comments say

[a Reddit thread in r/FixMyPrint](https://www.reddit.com/r/FixMyPrint/comments/ybx51j/): "To me, like mentioned in the ender sub, it looks like the y axis is life and not moving right away. Like it needs to build tension first".

[a Reddit thread in r/FixMyPrint](https://www.reddit.com/r/FixMyPrint/comments/ybx51j/): "looks like massive overextrusion, check esteps and after that print some flowtests to see which amount of flow you need. cant see your mentioned prifile because it says i need permission".

## The three rows

The brand index is [Hatchbox](/brand/hatchbox). [PLA](/brand/hatchbox/pla) states a print temperature of 180–220 °C (356–428 °F). [PETG](/brand/hatchbox/petg) states 230–260 °C (446–500 °F). [ABS](/brand/hatchbox/abs) states 210–240 °C (410–464 °F). Each of those sentences is the product page checked 19 October 2026, and each page stops at print temperature. The beds in the catalog, 50–70 °C (122–158 °F), 70–90 °C (158–194 °F), and 90–110 °C (194–230 °F), are Open Filament Database cells. Drying is not stored on these three. [PLA](/material/pla), [PETG](/material/petg), and [ABS](/material/abs) are the material hubs.
