dehydrating PETG filament over night at 70°C in my oven improved the print results drastically - No Idea why i didn’t tried this earlier.
Wow!
We dry “All of our materials, not just Nylons” No matter what material we’re printing, the reflectivity or shininess of the printed part is at it’s best using a dry material. In addition, we have seen comments about micro-particles from 3D Printers. A large portion of these are tiny bits of the plastic that form around steam bubbles in the nozzle and once they escape the nozzle, the steam bubble pop’s thus tossing bits of fine plastic about. A dry material greatly reduces this issue.
How much time should it take to dry out a spool of PETG? Surely, drying it overnight isn’t necessary for every print, is it?
@Nate_T according to a datasheet i found for “drying plastics” it said 4-6h. Not sure how fast they regain the humidity - But I am looking for an Emsa CLIP&CLOSE “Spool box” their biggest maxi model would work (10,8ℓ 21×22×32) for sealing one spool.
