Thread: Easy PA filament.

Not sure on the perimeters but the default infill was 10% which made it spongy and too flexible, i was going to try a 60% infill but decide i didn't want to wait for a 6hr print time to find that 100% was better.
I'm printing these for someone else so i'll do all 4 parts at 100% so at least i know they'll be strong.

So first few prints were mostly without issue while i dialed in some settings, then got COVID so didn't touch the printer last week until yesterday.
Did a small print that came out stringy and had bed adhesion issues so i checked the PA filament and it was like cooked spaghetti , i did read that this type of nylon PA-6 was quite hydroscopic but i was surprised how much moisture it sucked up.
Put it in the oven @70c for 1hr x 2 and is printing fine now so will need to keep it in a zip lock bag with desiccant and maybe a stretch in the oven prior to printing.
Before this drama i had a print that stuck too well and removal ruined the bed, replaced it with a magnetic flexible bed which is much easier to remove prints from.
