3.3.4 Storage
Both PLA and ABS laments are sensitive to moisture. If stored in a humid environment, the quality
of the lament can deteriorate, with a tendency to bubble and spurt from the nozzle tip. This will
aect print quality, so when storing PLA or ABS for an extended period of time, follow these tips.
• Store in a sealed, air tight bag/container. We recommend a vacuum seal bag
• Store with a silica gel (moisture absorber) pack. One is included with each lament spool
