I've order man of these russian PLA (plastic+ceramic variant) and burned 
them with TopMaxII.

So far no problems IF programming was possible. Some of the parts were 
not burnt before but had some cells
which I could not burn. I guess that the have slightly different 
parameters for programming.
But that's just a guess!
