It does bind up once in awhile. It seems speed and having low tension on the filament helps the most.

Here's the backside of a phone case I made:

good stick to bed, good stick to each layer with layer.

Pros: Layer adhesion is one of the best! Sticks almost better than PLA to kapton tape (I only used on a heated bed)! Nice and flexible.

Cons: Stringie so set your retraction higher.

Print settings:
- 250C hotend
- 60C bed
- 20-40mm/s print speed for exterior perimeters. A little faster for the infill and remaining perimeters
- I don't recommend using fan cooling.
