Well, the problem isn't print quality, it kinks going into the extruder without even laying down the print.

I am clear on the issues you're having.

The faster the mass flow rate through an orifice, the more force that is necessary to generate that flowrate.

Slowing down the print speed reduces the force necessary, resulting in a reduced possibility of kinking the filament.

I tried the 1.75mm, but have no luck at all due to the old kinking between the wheels and the extruder problem.

If someone is using it, I'd like to know your temp, speed, etc. settings. It is sure rubbery, no wonder its tricky to push through the extruder.
