What climate conditions are ideal for FDM printing?

For Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) printing, the ideal climate conditions involve a stable temperature and low humidity. Maintaining a stable temperature helps ensure consistent material properties during the printing process. Fluctuations in temperature can lead to warping or other dimensional issues, affecting the quality and precision of the printed parts.

Low humidity is also crucial because high humidity can cause moisture absorption by the thermoplastic filament materials used in FDM. When filaments absorb moisture, it can lead to printing defects such as bubbles, oozing, and poor layer adhesion due to steam generation during extrusion. This moisture can compromise the mechanical properties of the final prints and lead to inconsistent results.

Together, these conditions help create an optimal environment for FDM printing, resulting in better adhesion between layers and higher quality finished products.
