Print flaws

Was this using the poly box humidity test? What kind of filament? Any more details?

I just printed this yesterday for a project. Bambu Basic PLA dried to where it shows 10% indicated in the poly box humidity test. For scale, the very narrow rectangular hole in the diagonal bar is 50mm long and 0.4mm wide. It’s just a little over a couple of inches across. The white pockets are printed separately and slide in.

I have a hydrometer in my ams to keep track of the moisture. When it gets to 20% I will dry all the rolls I currently have in the ams. Usally takes a good while to get to 20% with the desiccant I have in it.

That’s a good indication your filament is in pretty good shape. Since the AMS has desiccant in it that hides the filament moisture to an extent, though. If you have a poly box and hygrometer, it would be interesting to see what the poly box humidity test says about your filament water content.

Hi MZip
thankyou for your reply, do you then store your reels each in one of these poly boxes to keep them dry?
