You can tell if PVA is too wet or any material because it sizzles and pops while printing and comes out more snowy than clear lots of micro steam bubbles. You can put it on a heated bed at 60C with a towel over it for 10 or 20 hours. I suspect that will work.
Assuming that's the problem. PVA is annoying in that if it gets too dry it also fails gets brittle. I'm not sure this math is the correct way to calculate things for drying filament but it's what I use. That should be safe I would hope. It just might take many hours for the water to escape the pva - especially on the inner turns of filament deep in the spool. Anyway I've used this trick heat it to C for nylon to dry nylon to great success. Thanks a lot! For now I will try putting the spool in an airtight pouch with dessicant for several days.
If that doesn't work I will try the heated bed. I would try the heated bed, then put into sealed bed with desiccant. If there is a lot of moisture in the PVA, it could take a while to get from the core to the edges.
Also, it could be enough to overwhelm the desiccant. You need to be a member in order to leave a comment. Sign up for a new account in our community. It's easy! Already have an account? Sign in here.

Hi everyone, I'e got a serious problem with my last print with PVA on my Ultimaker 3 : the material stopped extruding after 1hr, and while trying to unload the PVA filament I realized it was stuck in the feeder.
But I still couldn't remove the filament, whatever side I pulled on : I guess that might be caused by a degradation of the filament by ambient humidity : the spool was left out in the open air for more than one month.

I better vacuum seal my remaining PVA filament then.

Picked By SandervG , April I'm making sure that the filament I'm using the supplied filaments is cut cleanly and is straight, and is pushed firmly into the feeder, but that doesn't seem to matter. Is there some knack to this? First of all cut it to a point.
Not straight. If you do only one cut then cut at an angle and make the longest part of the filament on the outside of the curve of the filament. But I usually do 2 cuts. Wedgebot to the rescue. Great advice. Still a good idea to cut the filament at an angle. Thanks for the thoughts. I've done some experiments based on the above Wedgebot not necessary I did find that cutting to a point didn't always help, but adding a slight bend at the end away from the catch-point made the difference.
As per you mentioned, there could be a probable trouble with the feeder wheel of your 3D Printer and you need to get acquainted with this. Thanks -- but I've done everything in and outside the manual. Having taken the feeder apart and also examined it in action, I think that there's a design issue which could easily be solved. I'm looking to see if I can produce a simple fix. And it seems a bit odd to be talking about replacing a printer that I've only had a few weeks.

By emtee , April 10, in Ultimaker 3D printers. From day 1 4 days ago , feeder 1 keeps getting jammed up when I first feed the filament. It deviates off to the left and is visible through the hole. Sometimes it's possible to grab it and pull the misfeed out, but I've had to completely dismantle the feeder on a couple of occasions. It's now sometimes not feeding consistently. I'm making sure that the filament I'm using the supplied filaments is cut cleanly and is straight, and is pushed firmly into the feeder, but that doesn't seem to matter.
