Proper filament drying is an important step toward achieving consistent print quality and reliable material performance. Many 3D printing materials absorb moisture from the surrounding environment, which can lead to poor surface finish, excessive stringing, bubbling, inconsistent extrusion, and reduced mechanical properties. Use the drying temperature and recommended drying time below as a starting point for each 3DXTECH material. For best results, dry filament before printing when moisture exposure is suspected and store material in a dry environment after drying.
