Hello, I’m new to the forum/ultimaker community. I work in CNC manufacturing so I have some experience although not completely related. So here is my question
when I print with PLA and PVA its awesome. the supports dissolve in water and no frustrating deburring or breaking of supports. only problem is when it is submerged in water over night. lots of my parts tend to get water stuck in them through the small openings (3d printing is not usually 100% air tight). So now all the supports are gone but now I got water stuck inside the print. and it’s kind of annoying. Has anyone had this problem and what do you guys do to solve it? I am thinking about drilling a weep hole and making another hole on top, then using compressed air to force it out.
Ultimaker 3
PVA PLA
20% infill all default settings.
