One time I had some trouble with sticking a new PLA lead in the hole of the extruder because the PLA was ofc bend a little bit. When I was talking with somebody about this he told me that I could use a hair dryer which makes the material soft and flexible.
Now I use a hair dryer for 2 purposes, I use it to drastically speed up the heating of the printbed, and I use it on my PLA after printing so it won’t snap.
A usefull expansion would be an automated air heater of some sort which heats the PLA after a print, to relax it a bit so it wont spring.
Would this be a practical Idea?
