/Experiments | Moisture in 3D printing filaments

Most filaments are delivered with a silica gel or vacuum sealed. Lets find out why! Full story and data are available here: http://www.antonmansson.com/2016/08/moisture/ Here's a dryer that will do the trick: http://amzn.to/2iO9iBl WARNING - THESE RESULTS ARE NOT TO BE USED IN SERIOUS ARGUMENTS.

Your data sheet left out an important figure... How long were the wet filament samples exposed to the water? A few seconds, several minutes, or an hour?
Also, how was the flexibility of the PLA altered during testing? Is it possible to slightly moisten PLA in order to make it less brittle & less likely to break, while still getting good prints? I have problems with my PLA regularly snapping apart. Another video shows a young man softening PLA in warm water for a moment, without negative effects. Curious.
Hey I've been having insane issues with moisture that I cannt fix. All of my black ABS has an insane amount of moisture inside them, they have had a total of like 60 hours in my oven, food dehydrator simmilar to what you have in this video, and stored inside vaccum chamber with dessicant, and they release massive amounts of steam. I can't figure out what is going on or why I can't dry them out, do you have any ideas at all? It has been really humid outside it is currently 88% humidity, but 36% indoors. Here is a pic of my latest print with this filament. https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1658x933q90/923/6Ei1Ld.jpg All those little voids are steam being released. I've also tried 3 different brands of black ABS, all the same results. I really need help.
Hi There, I am in the process of upgrading my 3D printer and have found your videos very informative. I am having problems with my current printer and am believing it is caused by moisture so I was very interested seeing a dehumidifier in this video, at what setting (if it has settings) and how long would you recommend? I agree with Norbert, this would be a great subject for a video, I'm sure many people how are new to 3D printing are unaware of this problem.
Awesome video! I like how you are honest with your test. Educational and quick.
Great video, loved where you pointed out the differences in the print. Things like that help us diagnose issues in our own prints. :)
Very nice video. I first noticed moisture when I tried to print with a roll that had been sitting out in the wonderful Florida humidity, and the extrusion had bubbles on it. It was a very strange phenomenon. A little bit of drying in the oven fixed that issue very nicely though.
I was wondering how well the dehydrator does drying out the filament that you saturated. That would make a good video; how to properly dry your filament.

Thanks,

Norbert
Great video and really scientific approach, love it!
Next time, try having more zoom in time for both filament types. The zoom in for the dry filament was a bit short.
Did you print with all of the filaments?
You seem to have a bit of curling coming out of the hot end. I have to suspect that the steam puffing of the filament will amplify such curling, but I could not confirm it due to the lack of zoomed in time for the dry filament.
Some of the filaments would be affected less by moisture because it is coated with a plastic or other material that resists moisture. In the case of ABS, I believe the coating usually has a lower melting temperature that results in the coating oozing out of the nozzle if you keep the filament in the heated nozzle without retracting it or extruding it too long.
Very nice video explaining it all. Well done.
What are your recommendation on storing filaments? I use a plastic "box" with lid from ikea with a seal (tätningslist). Storing a large mesh bag with silica gel in each box together with the filament.
Maby overkill?
How do you store your filament?
Really interesting! also, you have 3 cutting mats?
Well done, Anton!
Very nice experiment.
