Comment on Inline filament drying prototype
neclimdul@lemmy.world 4 months agoMaybe. I actually have a dehydrator I use with plenty of airflow.
But I think that only solves part of the problem because that makes it really good at drying the outside but it’s still going to have trouble past the first couple layers. I think the fact moisture would also have a hard time penetrating means current options work well enough.for most people.
Anecdotally I can support this, recently I had a particularly old roll of petg that I dried for a larger print and later in the print started getting all stringy and messy.

I guess it depends on where you are. Where I am the air is a lot less humid than in other places, and I have the opposite effect. I put the filament roll in the dryer and start printing. As time passes, like the filament gets dryer and stringing reduces.
