All PLA is hygroscopic (water absorbing) and exposure to moisture over time degrades the material. We have a (mostly) airtight latching storage bin with desiccant (CaCl[sub]2[/sub]) to reduce moisture internally. Store PLA inside this bin, keep it closed and open it only when needed. | All PLA is hygroscopic (water absorbing) and exposure to moisture over time degrades the material.
