When you have multiple spools of material in use or do not print with a material, it is very important that you store them
properly. When stored incorrectly this may affect the quality and process-ability of the material.
To keep your materials in optimal condition it is important that you keep them:
• Dry and cool
• Out of direct sunlight
• In a resealable bag
The optimal storage temperature for PLA, CPE, CPE+, Nylon, PC and TPU 95A is between -20 to +30° C. For ABS the
advised temperature is between 15 and 25° C and for PVA 0 to 30 °C. Furthermore a relative humidity of below 50% is
recommended for PVA and TPU 95A. If these materials are exposed to a higher humidity the quality of the material can be
affected.
You can store the material in a resealable bag, including the supplied desiccant (silica gel). For PVA it is advised to store
the spool in a resealable bag with the supplied desiccant directly after printing to minimize moisture uptake.
