3D Printing Forum

GrueMaster - Thanks for the reply.

As the SUNLU Filament Dryer is working I also have bought plastic food containers with a lid that seals from the grocery shop.

I have put the desiccant packs in the containers so I guess I am all set now for some good printing.

Thanks for the reply Lez0. Just a bit slow at seeing it. Just to update this thread about Brittle Filament, following is what I posted in SUNLU Filament Dryer S1 thread started on 28 December 2020. "Yahoo. The Sunlu actually works. I put it on for 6 hours at 55 degrees centigrade. It may not ne...

Thanks

I bought 3DLAC spray to use on my glass bed. I soon worked out not to put too much on because if I do I have to use a hammer to get prints off. Also tried the 50% alcohol and water but that does not seem to work on big prints but it must help. 3DLAC is much better to use than wood glue as there is v...

My LCD is not faint as it has a bright backlight.

Your backlight must not be working.

Yahoo. The Sunlu actually works. I put it on for 6 hours at 55 degrees centigrade. It may not need that long. Before I did the filament I could bend it once and it would break. After heating it, I just bent some over 40 times before it broke. I just bent over some twice and first time broke at 15 be...

Thanks. I have some brittle filament so will try it in the Sunlu but I bet it will still be brittle.

But is it still brittle and break easily after drying in the Print Dry Pro?

Still wondering with a good dryer does brittle filament come out not brittle?

That one does look a lot better with a double wall, two rolls etc.

Roberts_Clif My filament is about the same age as yours and a couple break if I leave them in the printer over night but do not break when I use them. I just bought a SUNLU Filament Dryer S1 and started a new post as this post was getting old and not many comments. In that post I asked does a filame...

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I did not see your reply earlier.

I bought a SUNLU Filament Dryer S1 and put some brittle filement in it at 50degrees centigrade for 6 hours and the filament was still brittle and broke easy.

I guess a Filament Dryer does not fix brittle filament?

1800 views and no comments seems strange.

Just wondered what the disadvantages are in using old brittle filament? Maybe none.

I understand that old brittle filament can be put in an oven to dry it out but wondered if the prints from brittle filament is worse than with new filament.

I can not tell as most of mine have a rough surface. Some are quite good. But wondered if the prints are better with new filament?

Thanks
