Im working with an old reprap cotroled directly with an Laptop with cura. Filament is RS-Pro (2325395) Pla though. Open around 4 weeks ago but i have this problem in some capacity since i have this Filament. Before i had some really old pla which snapped all the time because it wss so brittle. Is this really just shitty Filament? Help/ Insight would be much appreciated.
I want a filament dryer, but I’m too cheap, and don’t use my printer enough. :(
I want to start using it again, but I’ve been struggling to get the motivation to recalibrate and figure out all the optimal settings again.
A dryer costs about as much as 2 rolls of cheap filament, and if you don’t print very often then you’ll probably waste more than 2 rolls to failed prints. A dry box with desiccant can also work, but it doesn’t remove moisture efficiently - it just keeps things dry, so it won’t recover your wet filament.
On the other hand, if the trick with the heated print bed is working for you, that’s probably good enough. A cheap kitchen scale will tell you if it’s removing moisture.
