Sometimes, I really just need to take a deep breath, take a look around the office, and remember what an awesome job I have. I mean, c’mon, I have this I get to play with everyday. How bad could it be?
Do you have to deal with customers?
Oh yes, lots of them. 
Is all that filament absorbing moisture ???
Oh, absolutely. Well, at least the stuff that’s hygroscopic is, but that’s what our vacuum oven is for.
I should add that we’re in so cal, and rh% is ~40% year round, so while it’s definitely absorbing moisture, it’s pretty dry here, so it’s not as bad as it could be.
Could be worse
I’d be happy with just the primary colors and you get shades of brown and purple 
If it makes you feel any better, I almost never print with brown or purple, :o
@Melissa_Blanchard looks like my filament collection! cept this is his jobs collection
hehe
Are those brackets the wooden beams are resing on printed?
They most certainly are. Good eye
Wow. I love purple. It smelled like maple syrup.
What is your favorite PLA for printability?
Probably PolyMax PLA. It’s pretty awesome stuff. A bit pricey, but excellent finish and printability
No seriouslly , yes that so cool
Sweet except for the possible humidity infiltration. Have you noticed any effects in your prints?
If/when we notice moisture in a roll, we throw it in our vacuum oven and dry it out
How does doing that affect the quality of the filament? Have you noticed any degradation in its properties once it has printed out? Does a spool of filament that has been put in the oven print any different than one that is “factory fresh” and not affected by humidity. I would really be curious about that.
No. Pulling vacuum significantly lowers the boiling point of water. We heat the oven to 110F then pull vacuum. This doesn’t affect the filament in any noticeable way.
Awesome. So is this vacuum oven an expensive industrial thing or consumer level?
