PA-CF specifically would make me desire the ability to print directly from a drier, though I don't know how quickly it begins to absorb moisture. For drying nylons, cheap driers like that won't cut it. That Comgrow shitbox especially only goes up to 50C unless I read wrong. I'd be looking at something specifically high temperature like the Elegoo H1HT, Bambu AMS HT, or Sunlu E2. MyTechFun has some good videos on drying nylon filaments, if I recall 80C or above is preferred for nylons. >they all use the same technology No there's three broad categories. The cheap ones: >wide flat element, often self-regulating >less than 50W, usually with external power adapter >get up to 50C reliably after a short while, 60C can be a struggle >no airflow directly through the core of the heating element >often just a couple of power modes instead of temperature setting >sometimes have vent holes, usually rely on air leakage around gaps >often just a small fan to circulate air, sometimes no fan at all The mid-tier ones: >hollow heating element that air is forced through >usually 75-150W, usually direct AC input >can usually get up to 70C if not higher >proper temperature setting on the display >no humidity readout >usually a vent hole or two to let moisture out >decent airflow And the high-tier ones: >whatever fan and heater arrangement that can get up above 80C >at least 100W, usually direct AC input >measures and displays temperature and humidity >active vent that opens and closes when moisture needs to be released Do you mean turning scrap/pellets into filament? Or just respooling?","topicHash":"f04b384c0125f2981b53e0738968aafe40ec78569cb0e5075ae829ab39f7527b","topicName":"do-it-yourself","parentHash":"cdee5741cbc362ae6a252566f4af588ee133851ee2af875f91e60884717103a9","costSunk":"0","biasSupport":0,"biasOppose":0,"biasVouch":0,"biasNull":0,"blockHeight":null,"confirmations":0,"timestamp":"2026-11-08T20:02:17.851Z","tripFp":"935a13bc38b3","viewCount":0,"powDifficulty":0,"relation":0,"ephemeral":true,"nonce":"4e94f1192df22fc3","sig":"3d90fd8f764647f689ce0389ef80f464aacda3ab5785ae7822183ed754aa640e969e9fda6c1b8ed883f0c25932f8f16b6e292c5d22c13865b1e6ef386e87852a","ephStamp":{"blockHashHex":"00000000000000000000cd4b0ec60a001c6ea85c4680ce040485c9d4d9866bdc","nonceHex":"714a010000000000"},"replyCount":0,"chainReplyCount":0,"vaporReplyCount":0,"clusterSize":1,"receiptHeight":975093,"expiryHeight":977253,"authorMarks":{"since":"2026-10-28T02:02:26.457Z","via":"sight","inscribed":0,"likes":0,"biases":0},"lang":"en"},{"contentHash":"b080e57fe0f88f02edea3bac662d3172187ea4309189f85a321fd9a3aa3de382","protocol":"bitcoin","authorPubkey":"53dbc9694f11be4feab120ac55de93a34b22db624dd08c12790f4bc3f8e1884b","text":"You often don't need to print out of a filament drier, for non-CF PETG or for silk PLA it's definitely not a requirement, but for CF filaments, PA, TPU, or multi-day prints, it would help.
