Basically title, the top mount broke so I screwed the mount to a bench. Only seems to be happening with this filament though as I've been running this setup for at least 6 months.

Like others have said it's probably drawn in moisture and became brittle. I just wanted to also let you know that you should remove the spool and put it somewhere enclosed with desiccants (silica packets) when not in use for an extended period. I use gallon zip lock bags with 3 or 4 silica packets thrown in, it's just enough room to hold 1kg spool.
