Reminder: put filament in dry boxes

Just a friendly reminder: filament is sensitive to humidity. PLA isn’t bothered too much by it, but other filaments will print poorly if they get too “wet”. We have sealed boxes around with silica desiccant in them to keep filament dry.

At Asmbly, our etiquette is that if your reservation is about to start and the previous person hasn’t returned to claim their print, you remove their print from the printer (note: it’s totally reasonable to swap out the whole plate!) and unload their filament and place them on the table next to the XL. This includes checking the filament type and putting it in a dry box if it’s not PLA.
