Keene Village Plastics Performance PLA

@hoffmantactical in some of your older videos you would recommend KVP Performance PLA, it has a very high heat deflection and other great properties that seem to be much better than an other PLA +'s out there... but you havent mentioned them in a long time, do you not recommend them anymore for a particular reason?

I've tried them out myself early on when Hoffman mentioned them. TBH I havent seen it perform much better than Polymaker. Not to mention their packaging usually sucks pretty bad lol. Every vacuum bag I've received from them was, well, not actually vacuum sealed. I kinda gave up when I found that Polymaker's filament was seemingly just as good and cheaper.

Yes, specifically poor layer adhesion. Anything that uses the Nature Works 3D870 resin has poor adhesion. And the temp resistance is not actually higher, that is a marketing gimmick and applies if you anneal it.
