Yeah, I tried it years ago before we found out about plastic welding rod. Problem is that it is typically made from polypropylene, which is one of your higher melt temperature polymers. It also tends not to be round.
The killer, though, is that the rolls aren't particularly long and they cost a rather steep multiple per pound what the much better filament you buy from the plastic welding rod people costs.
