Comment on Elegoo Neptune Pro 4 - Failed Print Help
TheBest@midwest.social 7 months agoHmm. I don’t have a specific filament dryer. I saw that this was recommended, but I wasn’t having any perceiveable issues with wet filament before this problem.
To troubleshoot I tried ordering ‘fresh’ filament from 3 total brands. Some seemed to print longer than others but still would ruin the print eventually by catching on the base print. This was heartbreaking because I really thought this could have bene the fix.
Will look into improving my storage long term so this can be crossed out as a potential issue.

The humidity issue IMO is often overblown. It’s really environment specific. In my old place my relative humidity was 35% so wet filament was never a problem. It’d be good to get a hygrometer to see where you’re at before you start buying fancy filament dryers or accidentally melting your spools in the oven. If your area is generally high humidity then it can help. With PLA though it’s not going to make a huge difference.

My humidity in my little printing enclosure is sitting at 21%, so it seems like this probably isn’t the major issue. Thanks for the info, the other perspectives definitely help.
