Topic: Brittle Britle Brittle Brittle Brittle
I use PLA a lot and most of the time the prints are great. VERY strong.
But recently I bought a roll from ebay member tristche
Unlike most of my PLA, the prints I make with it are very brittle and snap easily.
It does print nicely though. Sharp and crisp. If only it wasn't so brittle.
It doesn't sputter or act as if there's moisture in it as I have read will happen with soggy filament.
The raw filament on the roll breaks fairly easily as well when flexed back and forth 90 degrees.
Only takes 3 or 4 flexes compared to filament that prints very strong which can flex 15 - 20 times without breaking and even then sometimes doesn't separate.
Is this just poor quality filament, filament that has absorbed moisture or what?
Is it possible to dry the filament and make it more flexible?
Thanks
