I’ve seen many debates about the need to dry PLA filaments. Looks like some people never need to do anything while others dry the hell out of them before printing.

I’ve been recommended once to print at 10% RH… After 48h of drying, I can barely get below 37%…

So: what’s the humidity level in the room your printer is?

    People who obsess about filament because of YouTube drying end up driving off volatile plasticizers and ending up with brittle filament that ruins a roll.

    Like every fucking YouTube video has to explain what hydroscopic means like we’re in grade 7 science class.
