<item><title>Filament Drying Temperature and Time Chart: 8 Materials and the Dryers That Fall Short</title><link>https://polymerspec.com/filament-drying-temperature-time-chart/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://polymerspec.com/filament-drying-temperature-time-chart/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2026 06:05:10 GMT</pubDate><description>Overture dries PLA at 50°C, PETG at 65°C, TPU at 70°C and nylon at 95°C, each for 7 hours, and 3DXTECH starts nylon lower, at 90°C for at least 4 hours. As of November 2026, makers list about 80°C for ASA and ABS, about 80 to 90°C for PC and about 80°C for 8 hours or more for PA-CF and PAHT-CF. The catch is that most food dehydrators top out at 70°C, and as of November 2026 a Bambu Lab AMS 2 Pro reaches about 65°C, so neither is enough for nylon. Nylon settings vary by brand: 90 to 95°C is Overture&#39;s and 3DXTECH&#39;s figure, while as of November 2026 an AMS HT at about 85°C should suit nylons whose maker lists 80 to 85°C.</description></item>
<item><title>Max Volumetric Speed Calculator: The mm³/s Cap That Overrides Your Speed</title><link>https://polymerspec.com/max-volumetric-speed-calculator/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://polymerspec.com/max-volumetric-speed-calculator/</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Nov 2026 05:55:50 GMT</pubDate><description>Max print speed in mm/s equals your max volumetric speed in mm³/s divided by layer height × line width. As of November 2026, Bambu Studio&#39;s PLA Basic profile is about 21 mm³/s on the X1C and P1S, giving roughly 250 mm/s with a plain rectangle at 0.2 mm layer and 0.42 mm line, or about 278 mm/s with the rounded-bead area. The slicer prints at that cap or at your set speed, whichever is lower. Move to 0.28 mm layers and the same hotend drops to about 208 mm/s.</description></item>
