Question About Filament Humidity Level

Oh what did I start!!

I see merit and value in all the responses. Yes, following the recipe’/guidelines will help, as has been suggested. However, now I also understand that just blindly following a set of data points is not necessarily a guarantee of the achievement of the desired results, but it is a good starting point for an ignoramus like me. I live in Eastern Montana, so our winters can be quite dry in the house (not as bad as the Midwest, though) and not as cold. I can easily maintain an RH of around 25-30% in a room…or increase it to 50-60% with humidifiers if needed.

The Litmus test will be the print quality. The TPU has been in the S4 since last night, first undergoing 6 hours of heating/drying treatment and now has been sitting in the dryer at around 25-30% RH.

I am going to go tot Home Depot and grab a transparent tote large enough to hold 4-6 filament spools in it with dessicant (thank you, 3dEd).

Thank you…I appreciate you all. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. YOU.
