Any suggestions for a good dryer that exceeds 100c/212f. My current dryer only goes to 74c/165f

#

Or should I just use a counter top oven? I'm not having any luck finding something that exceeds 194F.

Do you need those temps? Or can you get away with drying longer at lower temps (better for the filament)

100c is what Polymaker recommends to dry their PA6-CF

Not needed, the ebios I have works fine

Are you drying for a longer period? I'm currently drying a spool at 165F for 6hrs. This is a new spool.

Oh much longer, 24 hours

#

Maxed out on the ebios

WOW... That's a long time... I like the 8hrs @ 100c

Honestly, 24 hours is pretty standard for nylon

#

It sounds weird, but you don't want nylon to be completely bone dry either. Water is a plasticizer that helps keep the filament from getting too brittle to print, but obviously too much causes big issues
