There's a voice that keeps on calling me.
Hi Folks,

I didn’t realise PLA+ absorbed water, and my printer and opened spools sit at the top of the stairs by a window and above an area where we dry clothes!

Noticed the PLA was snapping a lot, so it seems it’s taken on water.

Is the PLA basically fit for the bin or could I resurrect it? lessons learned the next spools will sit in a sealed box!
 
I’ve put it in my latest HUKD purchase. Slow cooker at 40c for the next 4 hours. There’s still 1/2kg left on the spool and the drying will cost me 50p so worth a try
 
Rescued mine just fine. Shame the printer screwed itself and I just ended up with black wiry hair on a print
