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.

        If one is going to try to use an oven anyway, I think it’s important that it is a convection oven and that they use an external thermometer.

        But I’d definitely never try to dry some kind of smelly filament, like ABS, in something that’s used for food. PLA, PETG or nylon might be ok, though there’s so small margins when trying to dehydrate PLA so I probably wouldn’t stick that in an oven either way.

    Like MehStrongBadMeh said. PLA especially gets brittle like this when it’s drawn in too much water. Try sticking it in a filament dryer/dehydrator for 24 hours and see if that goes away.
