I ran into a new issue: vertical wall delamination.
.
I was trying to print a new part out of PETG. On the print bed it looked really, really good. I was very hopeful. But, when I removed it from the bed, I found that all of the outer walls were not stuck together. I could peel each wall layer away from the others, like an onion. Obviously not good.
.
I tried various changes: temperature, speeds, line width, etc. None of it seemed to help. And yet, only 2 days ago I had use this same spool of PETG to make a really good print. I got suspicious. What if it's moisture in the filament?
.
It so happens that I ordered 2 new rolls of PETG from Amazon because I didn't think there is enough of the current spool to print another part of the same assembly I'm working on. So I changed out the current spool for 1 of the 2 brand new ones and, so far, it seems to be working much better.
.
Has anyone ever heard of humidity in the filament doing this? I tell you, the more I do 3D printing, the more it seems as though a filament dryer is a necessity.
