This one is really cheap and it progresses other hobby's, its a hobby's hobby. This is a buy once cry once and to feed it 20 bucks of filament when you need it. I also recommend if you have long pauses between prints seal it up back in the bag with the desiccant pack or if you can vac seal it that is even better. PLA loved to soak up water quick PETG will over time also. There are dry boxes out there you can purchase or DIY but meh Ill bake it for a few hours if I need it now and cant wait for fresh. I do mean toss it in the oven at just over waters boiling point for a few hours. If I know I wont be printing with in up to a month yes a month Ill toss my PETG back in the bag it came in and take as much air out as I can.
Matt, one quick question. Does the Vyper printer have a USB interface to transfer files or just the card? I didn't open the box yet, I want to have everything together before I put it together.Thank you,Ted

Thank you!
Thank you, Sir! Now I'm getting excited, my wife not so much.... she saw me order the printer and her comment (with a sad face) was : Another hobby? How much are you gonna spend on this one?

Thank you!"Really cheap" well, that's true if you stay away from the Amazon filament listings.. glow in the dark - cool, wonder how the copper one looks, etcMy gas oven does not control the air temp well enough at the low setting (overshoots when it comes on) probably good to check before putting the filament in. I ended up using a storage bin that I added some weather stripping to to seal it. I use the reusable silica gel https://www.amazon.com/s?k=B087PCYFMW and recharge it in the microwave. I also tried the reusable vacuum storage bags but they became tedious once I had several rolls. Of course, if you are out in Palm Springs you are good to go.Hot plastics give off fumes, some worse than others. Right now I just close the door and open the window but I need to configure something more long term.
DONT cheap out on fillament its not worth it. I use overture and SUNLU but have had good luck with Hatchbox as well. Dont buy off brand it will haunt you trying to get it to work.
