I look in cura to see how many meters are needed (in bottom right corner hover over on the "i" in the circle).
Then I unspool that much and put it on the hot glass with the spool on top of that. Let it dry for 4-8 hours before printing. You should see different results.
Please post a picture.
Wet PVA prints snowier. Whiter. Dry PVA is clearer. Very wet PVA sputters and crackles and you can see the steam.
Dear gr5, everyting working fine so far, after heating and drying PVA Natural as you adviced. Here you have some pictures. Thanks a lot,
