Recently just started my 3d printer back up. Had 2 full spools still in the box, opened it and just started breaking. The filament just explodes when it gets old.
Had to buy a brand new spool of filament for a $0.20 part.
And it has no automatic bed leveling, so it took like 6 attempts to get it flat enough.

have you tried drying it? filament gets wet when exposed to humid air for a while, and one of the noticeable effects is brittleness
if you’re going to store any filament, an air-tight container (cheapest is a vacuum bag) with some desiccant
Was in a sealed bag with silica gel. Both spools did get heat cycles to over 100f a few times when the AC shit the bed… Multiple times.
Humidity.
