You can also use the scale to see when a roll of filament is done drying.

How much weight difference do you see? Do you simply wait for the weight to stop changing?
Good thinking. I didn’t think about that.

I just check it every hour or two and stop drying when it stops getting lighter. I usually see an 8-10g drop after drying a new 1kg spool of PETG.

Interesting. I’ll have to try the reverse experiment: I have a roll of TPE that’s been drying in the dryer for at least 3 weeks. I’ll take it out and see how fast it’ll reabsorbs water.

Very cool idea! Please share your results once you have done it :)
