3D Print Troubleshooting

Moisture in Filament
Our filament mostly isn't stored in an airtight container. This means that the filament will absorb water over time. Hydrolysis is when a water molecule breaks a plastic polymer chain. The water can also vaporize and create air bubbles and voids. This affects print quality in every aspect:
# Loss of strength # Poor finish # Poor adhesion between layers # Poor adhesion to the bed. # Failed prints.
PLA
ABS
ABS has warping issues and needs to retain heat.
