Dry and then store in sealed container with silica gel. Silica will maintain dryness, but will not dry filament by itself.
Also, containers must have a seal of some kind. Regular plastic tubs will let some moisture in. For a few days or a couple of weeks that’ll be fine, but over a month they’ll let moisture in. Get vacuum bags.
There are pretty cheap reusable vacuum bags that use a little pump. I use a cheap kitchen vacuum machine, and regular food storage vacuum bags.


I live in a dry climate. Trust me, dry your PETG.


Get Rapid PETG. Regular PETG. I’ve printed a few rolls of regular PETG, and it can be a source of frustration. Same with PLA. Get a PLA +.


I live in a dry climate, and thought drying PETG was unnecessary. After a lot of frustration, I made a (very good) redneck dryer, and my printing life became much better. PETG really likes water, and printing humid PETG is a source of major frustration.
Also, don’t dry filaments in ovens, microwaves, or other food use things. A lot of idiots on YouTube recommend that, and it’s obvious that you don’t want to cook foods in ovens that have been coated in unknown VOCs.
Us nerds don’t buy laptops?
I don’t either, but there are many in my family and friends I will gladly support.


Also, metal needles or equivalent can raise contacts and do their damage. I cut the toothpicks with a cutter so that they are wedge shaped.


In Spain you can buy a BYD seagull for around 10.000€, with proper switches and stalks. A Hyundai for about 13.000. A really cool Renault 5 for about 20.000, if you want to buy European.
Granted, these are minis, but they are really adapted to much of Europe.
The cheapest Tesla is about 40.000, and arguably older tech.
Tesla has gone from innovator to legacy.


I’ve done this. The blank look on his face is a priceless memory for my kids and I.


Not perhaps. All quotes have been authoritatively traced to Mark Twain, even this one.
They also slowly evaporate while in your pocket, irritating the thigh.
They are pretty much the best at sea, though.
I routinely see north Africans in my local Lidl buying half a cart of flour packets.
Your diet being mainly refined carbs is not exactly good for being fit.


I get that politicians may get deadlocked, Belgium was almost 2 years without government not long ago.
But why does the US politicians deadlock impact public spending already allotted? Especially long running programs and public employees.
In the civilized world, budgets get extended until politicians manage to change it.


You don’t need to install anything as flatpacks. They are just a convenience


Titus tech tip’s windows decrapifying tool is pretty awesome for removing windows shit.
His YouTube channel is pretty cool too.
