    No wall. I'd need to get back to you on infill. Auto supports. The thing looked perfect, but broke at a touch. Not very familiar with the slicing software, it's from FlashForge, dunno if I can use Cura with this printer, and I don't know yet how to go back to previous prints to access settings. But I guess I'm about to learn......

    Cura will work and most likely have your printer settings built in and you can select the filament type.

    PetG is very hydroscopic and absorbs moisture which makes it brittle when printed... do you keep it sealed ?

    i can't stand cura, the logic it is based on doesn't gel with my brain

    i use superslicer, prusaslicer, ideamaker and s3d depending on what i need to print but mainly superslicer these days

    The roll of PET-G was brand new, delivered on Thursday.

    I have only tried a couple of versions of FlashPrint so far.

    The PLA print I tried went very well. But I only have two colours atm.

    Sadly that doesn’t mean it isn’t damp

    I had a couple of brand new rolls that were damp and I had to dry them in the oven to get a decent print out of it

    All part of the adventure

    I store mine in sealed boxes with silica gel these days

    Your doing okay

    I might try printing one in asa later today if I get a chance

    Hmm. It was vacuum sealed, with a little pack of something that apparently I should not eat, direct from FlashForge. The various pieces of the cupholder I printed with it were fine, so maybe it's something I overlooked in the settings. Like I said, I'm a novice. Funny that the best place to look for advice on 3D printing is a forum dedicated to quirky British 4WDs.

    I may crack the ****s every now and then, but I'll never leave this place.

    Hi mate.
    In post #49 in this thread you will see the filament spool on my setup in a clear plastic box on top of the printer. This is foam rubber sealed to the cabinet and I have a couple of trays of beads in there to try to reduce the humidity in the box. ABS is hydrophilic like PETG and I rarely get issues with moisture causing delamination in prints. It also helps that I live in a relatively low humidity area. I have have baked the filament in the oven before, but I haven't had to do this for a few years now.

    Cheers,
    Chris
