Filament break

Hi Everyone,

I finished setting up my printer and used the very handy calibration prints from here https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-assembly-and-first-prints-troubleshooting/life-adjust-z-my-way/
Z-axis is evil.
I printed a few Benchy's and then about 2m of my filament unspooled, there was a break in the spool, it's a nice clean break on the ends.  Anyone else have this? It's a 1kg roll of silver PLA that came with my MK3S.  Is it because it's the roll that came with the printer?  Are those more likely to have issues?

I'm printing like crazy 🙂  this is fun.

RE: Filament break

Broken filament is extremely rare.  What brand was it?

It was the 1kg of silver Prusa PLA that came with the printer.
