Will a drying box work, or is the roll OVER moistened? (Sorry for using that word lol).
Drybox will categorically not work. Sure, if you leave something moist in a box for a very long time, entropy will eventually take over and the moisture will equalize between the product in the box and the box itself. However, as a practical matter that will take months with filament. Unfortunately, you must heat the material to get the water into a vapor state and then ensure that the vapor has a path to escape. This is no different from a clothes dryer.
I hate to do this but I assume you would want it? Hygroscopic. Hydroscopic is used for things used to view objects under water.
LOLā¦ assume or presume? ā¦ want or expect?..
Excellent questions and I wasnāt good enough in English class to answer! I canāt speak for Olias but maybe presume would be the better at my end?
Sorry for the delayed response, as Iāve had a very busy week. I did some research on filament dryers, and purchased the Creality Space Pi filament dryer. I ran the TPU through it for 12 hours, and noticed a significant difference with the sound and quality of the print. I also bought some cereal containers and printed the inserts with the rollers to store my rolls in, and added hydrometers to them.
After dying some of my rolls, Iāve noticed a significant difference in the before and after weights. Iāve also noticed a that my prints have less issues.
I really appreciate all of the feedback from this post.
Thanks again.
Please share the links for the cereal boxes you purchased. Iām always looking for a better solution.
These are the boxes. They come in a pack of 4.
I find this design is the best one. Thereās full box prints, which look really great, but I find it uses a lot of filament to print.
