# This Much I Know
1. PLA is:
  1. brittle, don't drop it
  1. **moisture in your PLA filament roll is real**
    1. here [http://3dprintingforbeginners.com/how-to-store-3d-printing-filament/] [http://3dprintingforbeginners.com/3d-printer-filament-storage-made-easy/] are some things to be done about it.
  1. melty. don't run it under very hot water or anything like that.
1. http://thingiverse.com is amaazing. contribute to it when you can.
  1. useful things
    1. filament clips [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:12516]
    1. dessicant containers that fit in the center of rolls [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1416307]
    1. filament dryer [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1618037]
      1. I actually made this and it works very well. solved my printing problems, especially with the PVA. Now I dry the filament I'm going to use for several hours before I start printing.
1. https://www.youmagine.com is good too (more ultimaker centric?)
  1. useful things
    1. door hinges [https://www.youmagine.com/designs/door-and-hinges-for-ultimaker-3-or-ultimaker-3-extended]

## would be useful to get
- tank with a water pump to help loosen the PVA faster.
- rock tumbler make shining metal prints easier, so they say.

## Error messages and what to do about them
