3-D printing

Usually 60-80 range this PLA was opened 2 days ago though

Broooooo.

You need a dryer. 60-80% is very high. 30-50 is the range you want to be in.

You may also need to calibrate your extrusion, it may be extruding too fast. before you get too far down that rabbit hole, swap filament. See if its just that roll. If the problem goes away with another roll, dry that problematic one out. If multiple rolls are doing it, look at calibration.

How do you store your rolls? I ordered resealable vacuum bags and desiccant packs off of amazon for about 30 bucks, and I seal each roll and store them in a big plastic tub with a weather tight seal.

Seems it’s just wet which again is weird I just opened and and have been using. I’m printing it in black and it’s printing fine 714/1462 layers right now.


At the moment stored in my moms closet which sits at about 40% humidity is trying to get some money to do something like you have but so far the money I’ve had has gone into things I actually need more then that like food for animals

I like the pump on this one but the bags aren't as good.

Better bags.

The tub was 12 bucks at costco, it's a regular stock item, and it holds 10-12 1kg spools.

Thanks.

Figured you might need some place to start when your budget frees up.

Looks like I’m looking into a new extruder this has compromised the whole old one. It engulfed multiple wires that don’t seem to be connected to anything anymore.
