I remove supports after removing it from the printer. I anneal the part in my kitchen oven, with it packed in flour salt in an oven safe baking dish. The flour salt adds a ton of stability to the part during the process and buffers the temp on both the heating up and cooling down phases.
flower salt not sure of what that is,? I was going too anneal in the air firer, same one for drying PA.
Edit, is there a need too add moisture into the print afterwards? Im still a bit new to PACF
ok, did some reading. so can i get away with a dish of regular table salt. then 100c for a whopping 16 hrs? damn.
