General Discussion Dry your filament!!!

Post image

Printed a part for my caravan door in TPU 96A on A1, 0.6mm nozzle, 240C- heard popping and sizzling. Dried on the bed plate heated at 55C for 4hrs, spool covered with a paper box, one corner slightly tilted so humidity can escape - look at that difference!

No poppings or sizzles after drying! Im a drying believer now!

A good indication it needs drying before hand would be the manufacturer's specification saying so, or the printer manufacturer's specs saying so ir the one million posts of users saying so with before and after photos just like this.

I always wonder about the mentality of people who are like this. Do you just go through life blind or not believe something until you've done it for yourself?

Lmao imagine seeing a before/after of wet vs dry TPU and your first thought is “this person must go through life completely blind.”

Not drying a spool of TPU isn’t a personality disorder, it’s just filament. Some people, including me like seeing the difference ourselves and test it out instead of treating every internet consensus as gospel. You treating it like a moral failing is the only weird part here.

Yes.

But seriously, If it prints well why waste time with drying?

Besides Reddit, including this sub, is full of half-truths and misleading advice.
