Improving FDM Filament Drying With a Spot of Vacuum - Hackaday

TL;DR

This article discusses an innovative approach to drying Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) filament using a vacuum, which improves moisture removal compared to traditional hot air dryers. The current methods typically involve heating the filament for several hours, but by applying a vacuum, the boiling point of water in the filament can be lowered, allowing moisture to evaporate more efficiently.
