Info Request: Dehydration Temps

G’day, so i have myself a proper dehydrator, and these are the filaments that i have, Please see the attached photo.

My question is: what Celsius and timeframe do i need to dry these guys?

While they’re all PLA (55 degrees) time is another story.
The best way to tell is to weigh before putting in dryer, after few hours take out and weigh, repeat until it stops losing weight.

That’s a great way of telling but takes time. If print quality is lacking once open I’d dry for 8hrs to start. Test print quality and go from there. There’s a lot of good advice on here about drying. This thread is a good read:

to be fair, one’s PETG-Translucent. xD. But yeah, majority PLA, i’m at the “I’m a new printer and slowly expanding out” stage.

The wiki can be really helpful for a number of things. You’ll want to check the maintenance recommendations, build plate prep and will sooner or later need to do a cold pull (hex key method), but the details depend on your printer.

Happy printing :+1:
