Basically title, the top mount broke so I screwed the mount to a bench. Only seems to be happening with this filament though as I've been running this setup for at least 6 months.

I third this. Though, I recommend being careful with the food dehydrator, sometimes, they don't go low enough heat wise. Sometimes, the thermostats say one temp and it goes above at the top of the stack. generally, it should be tried at a little less than half the printing temperature (technically, below the glass transition temperature.).

also, it should be kept in there for some time to allow the moisture to equalize out. I usually put desiccant packs in the top to recharge them and store them with the filament.
