<p>Storage and drying instructions for filament.</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>=== Storage ===<br /> All 3D printer filament should be kept in sealed plastic bags with silica gel to save the reels from their hygroscopic selves and prevent wet filament from spoiling prints.<br /> <br /> If the filament has been left out or is potentially not perfectly dry, place the reel in the dryer for a few hours, then seal in a plastic bag with silica gel. The bags and silica gel are kept alongside the filament on the storage shelf.<br /> <br /> === Drying ===<br /> The filament dryer is located next to the 3D printers and can be used by placing the reel inside and pressing either of the front panel buttons to turn on.<br /> <br /> Pressing the front panel buttons shows the target temperature which can be adjusted up and down using the appropriate button and the display will revert to the current temperature after a few seconds.<br /> <br /> 55 is a good general target temperature.</div>
