Agreed, most likely a bad batch.
I'll admit that I have some rolls of PLA that are pretty old (still in the vac sealed and in temp-controlled cabinet)... but I'm sure that some of them were brittle relatively soon after I got them.
Sorry @Tony4597 I didn't see your reply.
yes, it's completely acting like that where it snaps when bent.
... But I am almost positive it's not moisture related, at least not in a way that I can fix. I have done tremendously long dehydration cycles and processes with this filament and it...
Wow, those are beautiful! I completely understand your hesitation to not take the mower to them.
My other half is also considerably green-fingered!
Here's some of her flower work:
We have baby chicks and the mason-jar feeder just isn't cutting it... especially because you have to fill it up and then quickly invert it, and you lose a ton of volume doing so
So I took a much larger container that I can fill from the top. :)
Here's what I came up with.
I down - resized...
I've never had success drying filament that is brittle and it becoming less brittle. From the research I've done there are a few other things that can cause filament to get brittle that are independent of moisture and humidity.
I end up tossing some of the filament but there is some that is...
One of the main reasons I got the H2S is because of the huge print bed and that it's an enclosed printer. Using multiple colors was kind of a side bonus.
Yep, same for me too.
In fact I just finished a project where I did multi-colors per layer like you have in your great examples and it...
So I found myself a little less excited about using my H2S... Mostly because of the AMS and dealing with managing the filament, especially any that is even a TINY bit brittle.
I've already had a few scares and problems where I had to dismantle things to pull out tiny broken pieces of filament...
I remember when this printer came out. I don't know a ton about it, but from what I understand, it's kind of a mix of inkjet printer and resin printer together.
Pretty cool to see how far technology has come, but we still need the hack ink cartridges to let us refill them. LOL!
I love seeing designs like this!
So many creative dry boxes!
I can't speak to how good this one is, but all 3D printed, and I enjoyed watching his journey:
