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. | |||
