        <title>Storing Filament in Freezing Temperatures</title>
        <description> My wife has decided she no longer wants to see my ever growing collection of filament stacked on and under the counter in our office. I&#039;m not sure why she feels this way but because women rule I need to find a new home for the plastic and the best other location is in our attached garage which may reach -10 to -15C (14 to 5F) in winter. Will ABS, PLA, Nylon, etc. filaments be damaged by freezing? Obviously they would be brittle when frozen but after they were thawed would they be the same as prior to freezing? I have a feeling they will all be fine but don&#039;t want to risk more than $1,000 worth of plastic before hearing from some people who have good understanding of how freezing affects plastic. Thanks for any input.</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Thanks all for the advice. I put a sample in the freezer and while I haven't printed with it yet it doesn't seem to break any easier than before freezing. I shall test more.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ The key word here is "WIFE"<br />
And "SEE"<br />

And keep them in house!]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I would be worried about condenstation once you bring them in. but assumimg you wrap each one, with some silica gel, and leave them that way until they are at room temp, I think they would be just fine.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I would be surprised if they take damage. The cold will help to keep the filament dry though.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ I live in Florida so I haven't had much experience with temperatures below 0c. That being said take some samples for each filament and put them in your freezer. Thaw and print various objects and see how it goes.]]></description>
