Have you ever dried this filament? Silica beads won’t dry out filament, they will just keep the air in the box dry. I have definitely had to dry filament from the factory, especially PETG.

I am so glad you keep posting, your builds are beautiful and are an inspiration to me to make my builds look good so keep it up :D. I really like the roof on this one, might have to copy that for one of my factories.
I don’t have anything to add but I am glad someone posts this every week, I always find something new, so please keep it up :D
I know you solved it but for anyone that finds this later this feature/behavior is typically called “NAT Hairpin” in case you are looking for a setting to enable or disable, hope this helps!
Ah yeah that is good, just making sure because it has caused me a lot of strange issues hah.
One thing that prob doesn’t matter but I usually dry PETG at 55 or 60, not sure how much of a difference that will make, 51 might be warm enough though. From what I have learned, it has to be warm enough that the moisture can escape the plastic (usually just below the glass transition temp) so you might try turning it up a bit if nothing else works because the moisture might not be escaping.
A lot of good avi e from others but definitely don’t discount drying it out, especially if you live somewhere that the air RH is over 20% as it will definitely suck it out of the air and act all kinds of odd in my experience.
Dang I thought it couldn’t be that bad but even the fist sentence is a struggle and seems to be incomplete let alone the first paragraph barely making any real sense at all.
This is a great list! Discovered a few new ones, thanks!

I remember your first post a year or so ago and dang you have been busy, it looks really great. I will definitely be installing this at home to organize product manuals and such.
