Drying TPU for Printing

TECHNICAL NOTES

Conversation-specific knowledge extracted from the drying tpu for printing discussion.

EXTRACTED KNOWLEDGE / HOW-TO FROM CONVERSATION

QUESTION / CONTEXT: Still getting g stringing issues. How long and at what temp would you dry this before printing in the creator 5 pro?

1. 55°C / 131°F for 6 hours as the starting point.
2. If it's been sitting exposed for quite a while, go 8–10 hours.
3. If it's *really* wet—popping/hissing at the nozzle or producing rough/fuzzy extrusion—I'd give it 10–12 hours.
4. I wouldn't exceed about 60°C / 140°F unless EONO3D specifically says the spool can handle it.
5. *For this spool tonight: 55°C/131°F × 6 hours. Then run a small stringing test before changing anything else. If you send me your current Creator 5 Pro TPU settings, I can tell you exactly what I'd change after it's dry. [embedded media omitted]
6. Open it and load it directly into the Creator 5 Pro.
7. Print the same stringing test you're using now with the same settings.
8. If the new spool strings dramatically less, we've basically confirmed moisture is the problem with your current TPU.
