sadly the fillament that comes with printer is extremly good but way too expensive ,i can get some really nice prints with it. While with the fillament i curently have i get such messy prints that i am considering of throwing the whole KG of it in the trash bin.

Notice the poor bridiging and random holes in the layers , with the same settings i get that part perfect with the fillament that comes with the printer.
Anyone have any suggestions where to buy a good fillament at the right price?

Looking at your picture I would suggest that you look at trying to dry out your filament. Do you ever hear little popping sounds when printing? It looks as if the filament has moisture in it which causes small little craters while printing because the water turns to steam and 'bursts' when it hits the hot end. Sometimes it's sufficient to simply pack the filament in a bag with a lot of desiccant for a while, but either way it should be stored in a sealed ziplock bag with a couple of silica sachets.
The bridging issues change from filament to filament, and normally relates to too little cooling, or too high a temperature. I made a change to my cooling system to bring cooling from all directions at once, as well as an anti-turbulence mod for the fan to improve airflow.

Yes ,thank you for that ,i put the spool in the oven at 50C for 2hours and it has eliminated the bubbles for now , i am gona buy some vaccum storage bags and keep the fillament in there with some Silica packs. As for the cooling ,unfortinetly for now i have to do withought while i wait for the fan i ordered to arive. I will try galactic wearhouse ,Hobbyking has limited supply atleast in euro wearhouse

I'm game! What I will most want to test is whether I can print it direct on glass, the way I can with Esun PLA filament. My address is at [eschertech.com]. Thanks in advance!

I have recently started trying ABS directly onto Glass with an ABS slurry and it seems to work really well (this is ESUN filament) so will be interesting to see how you get on with the samples?
