Hello, I am producing 3D filament in Azerbaijan, but I am experiencing problems during production. Can you help me?
Can you provide more details on what your problem is?
Hello. I produce filament, the PLA and Petg I produce remain wet after production. Customers are not satisfied. How can I protect materials from getting wet? I dry raw materials in special drying equipment before production. I just can’t get the dryness I want. Maybe I don’t know if it was necessary to use special additives during production?
- Hi, when we produce filament, the filaments stay wet. I dry the raw material. I dry the produced Filament but it remains wet. Are any additives used in the production of the filament?
Thank you for your time
Hi Aliev010,
I recommend contacting the manufacturer of your filament extruder for troubleshooting. Additives do not solve the moisture problem.
You may need a vented (or vacuum) extruder, which is designed specifically to handle polymers with higher levels of moisture. But with the information provided, I can not come to a conclusion on what your problem is as there can be many issues related to bubbles/voids in the material.
Hey! How do you dry pellets and produced filament? Maybe you use wrong parameters or equipment? Do you put filament into vacuum bags with silica gel immediately after post-dry procedure?
