How you store 3D printing polymaker filament can significantly impact 3D printing projects because filaments absorb moisture from the air. Filaments affected by moisture are prone to stringing, clogging, and rough surfaces, and those risks increase with faster print speeds. You can keep your filaments in an airtight container or

3D print bureaus make perfect economic sense for those who can’t yet justify bringing additive manufacturing in-house. It’s also a brilliant solution when your build requirements exceed your 3D printer’s capabilities. For example, if you want to print PEEK or PEKK, you need a much higher extrusion temperature than standard desktop
