I think 1kg spools are too much, I want to experiment with ALL THE COLORS... But few manufacturers offer 250g, and they are sometimes twice the cost by weight.

TBH old plastic printed badly when it was new as well, materials keep improving.
That's true.
Last month I finally gave up and threw away a 10-year-old roll of PLA, there was no way to get it to print decently.
You did try drying it in a dehydrator before you did that, right?
Because I have spools almost that old, they print fine after a night in there. Brittle as dry spaghetti if I don't though.
