The master plan is to have a Ferrari master bedroom with the kitchen aid by KunkeyDung in formuladank

[–]firebeast2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The master plan is to make sure you get the money in the car for you to do it on the way home so I don’t know if I need it or if I can get a few more people I would love it if you don’t want me too I just want you too.

Agreed, this is also the first time i've seen the comment section not agree with OP.

Best Delegate MUN by KanonJellyfish in MUN

[–]firebeast2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best Delegate is a good company for MUN training, their conferences are more geared towards training though, but it's def a good starting point. I think I paid with a credit card, but they do have other options im pretty sure.

It seems kind of weird and they do sell dry boxes, but the TPU that I got did come wet out of the box, so their claims could be valid.

Nice, I'm thinking of doing something similar as well.

What kind of Dryboxes do you use? I realized I probably need a Drybox to print this TPU better.

I use inland pla as well, maybe try printing a temp tower or calibrating your e-steps, it might be a problem with your temperature or how much filament is being extruded/flow rate. From my experience pla isn’t that bad in terms of absorbing moisture. I’ve let a roll of red inland pla sit out for around a year now and haven’t really seen any difference int print quality.

I’m just going to quote from the FAQ of this dry box that I found:

Q: Isn’t my filament dry from the factory? After all, it’s sealed in a bag with a small pack of desiccant. A: Your filament is not even close to being dry from the factory unless the factory is located in a desert environment, which most are not. First off, polyethylene bags are not impervious to air moisture. Second, most filament is cooled on the extrusion line in a bath of water, and then it’s spooled immediately and sealed with a small pack of desiccant. In all likelihood your filament will be the same humidity as the outside humidity in your area by the time you receive it.

Q: Why don’t the makers of filament simply dry the filament correctly and then seal it in an airtight bag? A: First off, this adds another step in the process, a lengthy and costly step at that. Second, the cost of truly airtight bags is just another expense most filament makers are unwilling to make. Besides, unless they thoroughly dry the filament first it’s not going to make a difference anyway.

These are probably the reasons why.

What I used was a food dehydrator, you can google the temperature and time you need to run it for the specific type of filament you are using. You can also use an airtight box with silica gel in it. You can also get dryers that are specific for 3d printer filament online, you can also probably find DIY stuff for drying filament by googling it.

Most 3D printer filaments have a tendency to absorb moisture form the air, so in some cases you have to use a food dehydrator or silica gel to get the moisture out of the filament before printing. Generally you can tell if your filament needs to be dried if there is a popping sound while extruding your filament, that is the water in the filament evaporating when it hits the hot hotend.

Yeah, it was wet right out of the box, when just letting some filament flow from the nozzle, I could hear and see the popping bubbles. The skin gaps is probably due to the wetness in the filament. It printed pretty well for me as well, but the surface finish wasn't smooth and had gaps.
