AI Help

To provide feedback on your temp tower, I would need more specific details such as the type of filament you're using and the temperatures you've tested. To improve print quality, ensure your nozzle is clean, bed is leveled, filament is properly loaded, and printer settings are optimized for your model. Also, check for any loose belts, worn nozzles, or calibration issues that may be affecting your prints.

Looks like it needs to be dried

#

its a noname filament..

ok and how much time until it will become wet again?

versed turret
#

depends on humidity and storage conditions

#

open air stored? depends on the exact makeup of PLA. but general rule is ~24h-1week

#

PLA is much more resistant to absorbing moisture than other filaments, but it still does.
you can do make storage dry boxes or get re-usable storage bags

#

whats the best filament brand from this list?

#

theres no "best" per se and most will work (probably AzureFilm, Polymaker)

versed turret
#

best?
polymaker (premium)
Sunlu (midtier)
eSUN, GST3D(lower mid tier)

#

they should all work about the same, just depends if they have what you want if your willing to dish the coin

#

only reason i say polymaker is they have the most consistant quality control.

covert coral
#

it petg better than pla?

versed turret
#

depends on the usecase

covert coral
#

will it absorb water slower?

versed turret
#

it is a different material, with differnt properties

covert coral
#

idk it is 2$ cheaper on the site i buy from

versed turret
#

and PETG absorbs water at a higher rate than PLA

covert coral
#

oh

#

what about abs?

versed turret
#

about the same rate as PLA
different material properties. Have to worry about warping and fumes

stiff badger
#

theres only a few materials that don't absorb water and none of them are convenient

covert coral
#

oh..

#

what about if i make myself a filament dryer?

#

a sealed plastic box and a cheap room dehumidifier inside

#

i dont think it will dry the filament but at least will it keep it dried?

stiff badger
#

?drytower

stiff badger
#

easier

#

cheaper

#

and a drybox is just a airtight plastic box with dessicant in it

covert coral
#

that dehumidifier is kinda expensive

#

30-40$

versed turret
stiff badger
#

yeah I know that

versed turret
#

just know people reccomend them as an actual means of drying.. which is a fundamental misunderstanding

stiff badger
#

hence me sending the dryer first

covert coral
