Chuckle, but I don't have a food dehydrator Gregg, I have an evacuation pump for cleaning out an air conditioner. It can pull better than 29" of mercury at sea level. Water ablates rapidly when at room temp and an atmospheric pressure similar to 350 miles up from this rock. Effectively freeze dried, without the freezer. You or I might live 20 seconds in extreme pain from boiling blood exposed to that without a spacesuit. This pump will dry filament in minutes. Drier than it was when bagged and shipped I think. :) > On Wednesday, March 31, 2021, 11:41:32 AM MDT, Gene Heskett <[email protected]> wrote: > > Is it possible that the filament is damp?
