    these look really cool!

    I’m new to 3D printing so this might be a dumb question but does the water or moisture degrade the plastic? I’ve read a lot of posts about keeping your spools out of the humidity.

      Depends on the filament type. Stuff like PLA and PETG have issues like that. ABS and ASA generally don’t. Outdoor stuff should generally be done in ABS or ASA (though I prefer to avoid them otherwise).

      it can make them more brittle (eapecially alongside prolonged time in the elements outside), but in a controlled environment like this it should be fine for a while :)
