That's amazing!!! I love to hear it!! I hope it works out!! I got lucky and the first thing I tried to sell worked, but don't be scared to try 5 of 10, maybe even more, parts before you get one that people want actually purchase! At first it's a doozy and once you do it for awhile it becomes second nature like anything else!!! :)
And thank you for the comment about the intro as well!! It took me a very long time to make. I'm going to try and use the same concept with some of the massive projects I have planned and this way I can sometimes have custom video intros. It was a lot of work, but I'm proud of it :)
I have had problems with ESun PlaPro filament. It's rare with them but when it happens its actually worse than any other brand I've dealt with. That's my go-to filament for everything but I think the way their spools and packaging are designed is flawed. They put the desiccant in the middle of the spool and then vaccuum pack it which nearly seals off the desiccant from having any exposure to the bulk of the filament. There's just 4 tiny holes on the 2nd ring from the center which are closed off from the inner filament already and then the plastic bag sucks down over the inner ring anyway. If the spool gets wet before they package it then it stays that way in the warehouse forever until you open it. They should add more holes or move the desiccant to the outside of the spool.
The dryers are ok for keeping filament dry after its already dry but they are super slow to actually dry it. A basic adjustable temp food dehydrator is far faster. Dry it in a dehydrator then toss it the dryer and keep it sealed even when printing and not ever have to worry about it. Matterhackers is quality stuff and so is atomic filament. In fact atomic is one of the best and neither will be vacuumed down like Esun but work fine. Creality filament though yeah it needs dried new.
That is interesting to know. I find that the eSun is nearly always vacuumed down perfectly and barely absorbs any moisture when sitting out. I left a roll out in the open for 2 months and it printed just as good as when I printed with it from new. I will have to give matterhacker and atomic a try!
@@ThePrintHouse I live in a extremely humid area. 85% and higher during the summer so I fight moisture. All brands for me need dried in a day or 2 and they are stored in a sealed tote. I've never bought Esun but once and while I didn't like the print quality it wasnt due to being wet. I've debated the dryer boxes vs printing individual dry boxes to keep my filaments in when printing to reduce dry interval on every roll. But if you have one give the dehydrator a shot then toss it in the dryer for use and storage and see how much longer it'll go. Also PETG is a dry daily if in use filament for me 🤣. I want to try nylon but I'm working out a better sealed storage/feed system first as it has no chance here otherwise. Also the content is good 👍 the info on what to look for and symptoms is great and having the visuals will help out many. Keep it up!
@@brandonbrown3600 thank you so much!!! I am doing the best I can and comments like these drive me to make more content!!! And that story is crazy. That would frustrate me so much. I don't know if I could deal with that. I have so much filament that I need a dry box and I plan to make one at some point. I don't know when exactly, but when I do ill definitely be documenting the progress! :)
Thank you for this advice, I think I learned what you mean. Please watch some of my newer videos (being released within the next 5 days) and let me know if it is better or if it needs to be tweaked even more :)
Nice video! I have some issues with a few batches of pla I bought (got the cheap stuff) and I think they could have a moisture issue. Will definitely try to get one of these dryers soon and see if that takes care of the problem
I hope it works out for you! You can see with the examples I provided here that drying my filament made a very big difference, but because this isn't great filament to begin with the results still leave much to be desired, though drying the filament did make a world of difference. I hope you are able to recover what you already have!
Very good video! I think I have damp filament.
Love the new intro man! Your channel was part of my decision to make a 3d print farm of my own. I just ordered the first printers Thank you!

Interesting. I have only ever had 1 spool from them be messed up. They are definitely my go to!

Turn down the intro music. Not balanced with the narration volume...

I just got wet creality filament that's why I'm here looking for better ways to dry it lol.
Nice video!

I like 3d printers 🥰🥰🥰
They are amazing arent they!?!?! :pppp
the intro sound is very loud
