@pbl0m petg is the main reason most of us have a dryer :) wet PETG is a bitch

@stooovie 100% true, wet PETG looks like fuzzy skin 😅

@pbl0m @stooovie I’m waiting for one dryer to be released later this month to make a decision on which one to buy. Have either one of you used the heated bet + cardboard box to dry filament?

Siff, 3 months ago

@teotwaki @pbl0m @stooovie You can if the humidity in the room where the printer is is low enough and the filament is not TPU and is not extremely wet (like the one I’m currently using for test prints only, that is wet even at 15% relative humidity after drying it in a drier for around 30 hours!).

@Siff @teotwaki @pbl0m I also have some tpu that's like that - I don't think it can be saved by any amount of drying frankly.

@teotwaki @pbl0m good drying requires removing the humidity - fans and ideally movement as well. Cardboard doesn't do that.

teotwaki, 3 months ago

@stooovie @pbl0m Couldn’t the part cooling fan be used to create air movement/push the hot/humid air out every few minutes?

@teotwaki @pbl0m perhaps it could but at that point you're piling hacks on top of each other and you can't use the printer while doing it (if you only have one, that is). An Eibos Easdry isn't that expensive and works well.

@po3mah @pbl0m nylon can suck my hairy balls, that stuff is nearly unprintable

@stooovie @pbl0m It is printable, but only 2 hours after unpacking :)
