Is this really any better than generic PLA?
To say that you are on thin ice would be a vastly optimistic view of your current situation. The ice has melted. You are being supported by the surface tension of water.

Do you regularly print at 300mm/s ? Looks like it has better layer adhesion than other PLAs. Outside of those two factors I don't see any reason to use it over other stuff that is either cheaper or tougher.

We use Hyper PLA from CReality.. I think.

We do not use it for speed so much as its way cheaper than the other stuff we run, its a prototype material for us,  and it just flat out looks like an injection molded part when it comes off our Bambu H2s.  I have yet to find a PLA that prints as perfect as that stuff does.

I have not tested it for speed or anything else as they dont make colors that we use, just dimension checking.

No I don't print fast.. yet.
I ordered a spool to compare it to the pla I have.
If it prints better great. If not..nothing lost, nothing gained.
