I think i have found the material. It is called acetate (may not relate to chemical composition as a hot glue gun is called a hot silicone gun over here).

It can be found in print shops, used as cover for folders and binders etc...

Re: Weird things happening

I think you would have intermittent problems..May be some parts got good without problem. The mechanical issues need to be resolve 1st. if the simulation of Gcode shows correct then no way your hot-end should move in the pattern you posted above.
