If you enjoy creating awesome projects with your Eheng 3D printer, you likely understand the importance of ensuring that your Monofilament yarn and PLA filament are stored in optimal condition. PLA filament is a really cool type of plastic that you can use to make a whole bunch of fun and useful things, like keychains, toys, and even parts to fix your toys!
In order to ensure your PLA filament is good and ready for 3D printing, it is important to store them the proper way. Protecting your filament will prevent it from absorbing moisture, allowing it to stay fresh and ensuring it will work well in your future projects.
Stopping Moisture Damage
Moisture is one major pitfall for PLA filament. So if it does find moisture, you can make it weak, brittle, and it won't perform well when you try to run it through your 3D printer. But don’t worry! There are simple steps you can take to store your filament properly and keep it dry and safe.
An Important Step to Maintaining Freshness
Store PLA filament in a dry place free of humidity and moisture to stay in great shape. One method is to keep your filament dry using a sealed container/bag. Silica gel packets or a dehumidifier (such as a salt-based one) can also be used to absorb moisture from the surrounding air of your filament.
Resources You Might Find Useful For Your PLA Filament
Certain tools do exist that can help keep your FDY/PLA filament fresh and usable. A filament storage box that keeps the filament dry and safe is one of the necessary items on the list. A filament spool holder is also a useful tool to prevent tangles and keep your filament in order.
Ensuring that Your Filament is Compatible with Future Projects
So, by him guiding some of these simple tips along with advanced tools, you can ensure that your Monofilament yarn and PLA filament are in prime condition for 3D printing in the future. Good filament care gets you the best output from your Eheng 3D printer, allowing you to create amazing things to share with friends and family. So, store your filament properly, and remember to keep it dry and fresh, and happy creative 3D printing!
