Filament leaks out of nozzle after print completes and ends up on print bed

Thanks I always wondered about that.

I’m going to try a few different methods of drying filament.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

A toaster oven probably isn’t a great option to use as most didn’t have a low enough temperature setting and the actual temperature control isn’t very good. There is a high likelihood that you might melt your filament using them.

Often people will use food dehydrators but specific filament driers are pretty cheap and plentiful.

Toaster oven no

Air fryer maybe - its designed to let moist air out [good for removing moisture] but you must verify with a thermometer how well your specific one does holding very low temp - I’d guess most do not do it well at all. You do not want to melt your spool or filament. A safety cautious person would also now never use that device for food prep again.

Toaster oven is off the table then.
