Filament drying - Temperatures and Time

3D Printing + Filament Dryer

I've compiled some numbers. Make sure to check your filament specifications - do not rely on my data!

The Excel file is here and may be more up-to-date than the table below.

Always check the supplier's specs! They might differ quite a bit.

For example, Innofill FR PLA already gets soft at 45 degrees (making it barely usable for many applications) though it prints at 200..220 degrees, whilst a roll of Real PLA White would print from 190..210 (and it melts quite happily from the extruder) but has a glass temperature of around 50 to 55. Running it with the default Bambu X1C PLA plate setting of 55 might not always be a good idea...

I'm almost done with all the 3D Printing related stuff, and regular service will soon be restored 😏


Drying inside the X1C

... is a viable option. I haven't tried that yet though 😳
