in #3dPrinting you need to keep your 3d filament (the ink basically) super dry, because it absorbs water, which makes it brittle and generally fucks with it
a lot of people come up with very expensive or complicated solutions. i just bought a 10EUR back of 1kg re-usable gel silica used to dehydrate car interiors, but it in an airtight-ish ikea box and my humidity reader is struggling to read the humidity because it's too low ✨
@bram it won't solve the spools you print with though, unless you print straight from your box. Also you wouldn't believe the amount of filament wet straight out of the box
@bram@stooovie I’ve stored PLA and TPU like that for 5 years and it preserved perfectly. The TPU I finished printing this week.
This being said, I did invest in a PolyDryer and a few boxes as I’m moving to more difficult-to-handle filaments. Nylon is one that sounds quite bad, but very exciting.
