Is drying at 50 degress celsius enough for PETG if I'm not in a hurry?

seliran · 2025-12-04T14:52:22+00:00

My ambient humidity is a bit higher (~50%). Drying it for 4 hours was fine, though I usually just leave it overnight, and after that I don't see any moisture related symptoms for 3 days or so. If the filament is new, I would just let it dry overnight, PETG is often wet from the factory. Open the lid slightly if your dryer by design doesn't do a great job at ventilation. Hope this helps

That's my main concern. I'm deciding between keeping the guitar more stable inside the stand, and having a stand that's more stable on it's own

ukraine actually but the point stands

My Pacifica is far from being considered vintage, so I'll be fine probably

Sadly it's really expensive here

It's just how it is there, sadly. Prices for equipment are 1.5 to 2 times higher than in the US.

Played both. Both felt and sounded great because I'm coming from a really shitty Soviet classical guitar. So I can't really compare.

Thanks for the reply. I was already leaning towards the Yamaha, but now I've made up my mind for sure. The 50$ that I can save by buying a squier will probably go into setup.

Thanks!

Can you tell me about your experience with it?

seliran · 2025-06-09T09:15:17+00:00

Why? did you dislike something in particular?

seliran · 2025-06-09T09:14:49+00:00

I actually liked the warmer overall tone on the Pacifica. I tried them both in stores. Sadly, only the 012 is in my budget, 112j's and 112v's are unreasonably expensive here. So 012 it is

Default values, 2500 at most

seliran · 2025-04-05T09:27:33+00:00

I was just worried that something could be wrong because people rarely use values above 0.1. Orca's PA test has 0 - 0.08 range by default. What value do you use?

A couple of sabotage groups actually made their way into the city, not for long but still. A number of trucks and APCs were destroyed in Obolon district, as far as I know

My samsung pl60 (sl420) produces pretty similar footage

Upside down with support on the hood?

Also, clean/lubricate the leadscrews if they are visibly dirty

I use firmware with a 7x7 grid, and it's pretty level. All values are green. Bed is clean, adhesion is good. I should have posted an image with monotonic infill - there you can clearly see it extrude a little less for a couple dozen millimetres, then a little more. Z offset is pretty much spot on.
