Has anyone else had issues with matte filaments? We found this matte PLA pretty dry and brittle when we first got it. Now, months later 3D prints that used that filament are prone to snapping. @mulibrary #failfriday #filamentfriday

St Patrick described himself as a refugee ("profugus"). He was a Roman Briton, trafficked into slavery in Ireland as a teenager who chose to return in adulthood as a missionary. He was elevated to the role of Ireland's national saint in the 7th century by the church of Armagh. Happy #StPatricksDay ☘️
