3D Printer filament can be degraded by moisture, some plastics more so than others, hence controlling moisture levels will improve the filament quality and, as a result, lead to better print quality, too. I house each of my filament rolls in an individual dry box. I maintain the moisture levels by including a box of desiccant inside the dry box. I also monitor the moisture level with an in-built hygrometer. Filament impacted by moisture exhibits the following characteristics, brittle "like spaghetti" (PLA), increased stringing (eg. PETG) and "bubbling" (eg. Nylon, TPU) to name just a few. The individual dry box approach allows me to customise the degree to which I can maintain the individual reel moisture levels. My Nylon filament is kept at a level of less than 15% humidity whilst PETG is maintained at less than 20% humidity. To control moisture at different levels means having different amounts of included desiccant in each filament dry box. So, to that end I have dif
