Filament drying table
Find source-specific temperatures and times. Follow the maker of your spool first, including the method and equipment it specifies.

Check the exact product sheet and resolve conflicting instructions with SUNLU before heating. |
Read a row before setting the heater
- Match the exact material and product. A reinforced blend may differ from the unfilled polymer.
- Open the maker's source and check its equipment, ventilation and spool instructions.
- Check that both your dryer and the spool are rated for the setting. More heat is not a substitute for the specified time.
- After drying, follow the maker's storage guidance. A dry box and a dryer perform different jobs.
Why don't all makers agree?
Filament formulations and drying equipment vary. We keep each maker's guidance separate rather than averaging it. A printer-bed surface setting cannot be substituted for a dryer's air setting.
