Heated filament dryers

Quick answer

A filament dryer uses controlled heat to reduce moisture in a spool. It does not cure resin or use UV. Check the material's drying recommendation and spool heat tolerance before setting it.

When it may help

If prints show bubbles, stringing or rough surfaces, first check the profile and nozzle: moisture is one possible cause, not the only one. Highly hygroscopic materials need particular care in storage.

Two separate tasks

A heated dryer prepares filament for FDM. A UV station washes and finishes resin parts. Read the damp filament tutorial before choosing a time or temperature.
