If the PLA or PETG spools were not sealed and just lay in the house, they almost certainly absorbed moisture from the air. This can lead to problems during printing, stringing, poor layer adhesion, and reduced model quality.
Recommended Drying Time
PLA
- Temperature: 40-45 °C
- Time: 4-6 hours (an additional 2-6 hours if printing is still poor)
PETG
- Temperature: 50-55 °C
- Time: 6-8 hours (an additional 2-6 hours if printing is still poor)
Important:
- Do not exceed the temperature, especially for PLA - it can deform
- It is better to dry longer at a lower temperature than quickly at a high one
- After drying, store the spools in airtight containers with silica gel
Properly dried filament = stable printing and clean model surfaces. Don't forget to print a small test model to check the filament.
