Horrible filament issue! What filament came with the printer?

So I have had my pro b for a few days now and I have done some prints using the standard white pla that came with the printer and they have come out amazingly. Obviously I started to run out so I recently bought a big roll of green pla filament and so far, all the prints done with it have been trash! Not only does the filament curl upwards from the print bed during the print, causing the whole print to mess up, but also this filament seems to form blobs on the extruder causing newly placed pla from the print to get stuck to it and ruin the print! Please could someone link me a store page to the exact filament that came with the printer or tell me how to fix these ghastly prints. https://imgur.com/a/y6kA4kV

You can't give up so easily. ;)
In such a situation then I would experiment with temperature settings for hot end.

Did you level the bed again before new printing?

I have bought 3 different colours (White, Black and Green) of Geeetech 1.75 PLA and been having some great results using 60c/190c with glue stick to help the print stick.

Here are the main two Cura profiles i use.
The only difference with the two profiles is 1 is 0.1mm layer hight and 2 is 0.2 layer..
