Comment on After printing ABS almost exclusively for about a decade, I'm rediscovering PLA and its fancy variants
Yeah we just had that happen here, dug up old spools and they print pretty badly lol
TBH old plastic printed badly when it was new as well, materials keep improving.
That’s true.
Last month I finally gave up and threw away a 10-year-old roll of PLA, there was no way to get it to print decently.
You did try drying it in a dehydrator before you did that, right? Because I have spools almost that old, they print fine after a night in there.
Oof, that sucks.
