  • Do keep the glass transition temperatures for your filaments in mind. 150°, or even 165°F may be fine for PETG, but PLA will soften at those temps. Also, check your local liquor stores for anything in the 95% range. Makes a great cleaner in general, and should take care of any unforeseen offgassed chemical deposit issues.

    Even though I expect any such volatiles to remain a gas and get shot out the exhaust, it’s better to be safe.


  • Probably not, but the goal is the convenience of multi-purpose. I can dry a filament for an hour, then wipe down the inside, load the dried filament, and cook dinner while I print.

    Also banking on the air fryers capacity to blow larger volumes of hot air at the target temp, given that… Well, it’s designed to mainly cook food. Some of the cheaper filament dryers just do not have enough airflow. Or any airflow.
