Issues with the prusament silver PLA that came with MK3
I've had my MK3 for a couple of months now. Just last night, I ran out of black filament, and decided to print something about 10cm tall using the silver grey filament that came with the MK3. I had been keeping this filament in a sealed ziplog back with dessicant, in the original box. I've had 3 failed prints with it. One of them unstuck from the print bed, the other two prints had layers get unstuck mid-print, which produced a horrible mess. I'm reprinting that print right now with some cheap "tianse" filament I got on amazon, and it's finally working fine.
I'd just like to suggest that maybe Prusa ought to ship a different filament with the MK3. This silver filament isn't sticky enough. Something in the formulation probably needs to be changed.
It seems I'm not the only one with that issue:

The PLA that ships with the printer is not Prusament. Do not use that profile in Slic3r. Use the regular PLA profile. I think the Prusament profile is too hot? I forget. I made the same mistake.

I don't know what to believe. The filament that came with my printer said Prusament............... I received the printer 2 weeks ago.

Strange. I received mine around the same time with regular Prusa PLA (no Prusament). Here's a few pics of box and label; if you still have your box you can compare.
