Yeah, both PLA and ABS are somewhat moisture sensitive, which is why filament is typically shipped in sealed plastic.

I figured someone surely must have posted a solution on Thingiverse, and found this beauty:

Moisture-free filament spool container / holder

Didn't we have an entire cardboard box full of expired silica gel inserts at one time? Those can be easily regenerated by heating them in an oven or microwave.

I think there is also another over all problem. When I was trying to use the Type-A machine

there was a intermittent popping sound. I read this is caused by the PLA absorbing moisture from the air. In the long run we should build a storage box with silica gel in it or similar.

I was over there for the first time in a while yesterday and noticed the taz sitting lonely on the ground.  Is it working or does it need some TLC?

Last I heard someone was complaining that the extruder was having trouble. If someone wants to fix it up I'm willing to pitch in some $ for parts.
