=== Moisture in Filament ===
=== Moisture in Filament ===
Our filament mostly isn't stored in an airtight container. This means that the filament will absorb water over time. Hydrolysis is when a water molecule breaks a plastic polymer chain. The water can also vaporize and create air bubbles and voids. This affects print quality in every aspect:
# Loss of strength
# Poor finish
# Poor adhesion between layers
# Poor adhesion to the bed.
# Failed prints.
