How to Dry BVOH Filament

BVOH (Butenediol Vinyl Alcohol Copolymer) absorbs moisture from the air, causing stringing, bubbles, and weak layer adhesion. Drying before printing eliminates these defects. Below are community-verified settings for any filament dryer.

Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature should I set my filament dryer for BVOH?

Set your filament dryer to 45°C for BVOH. This applies to iDryer, Sunlu S1, Creality Filament Dryer, and similar devices.

How long does BVOH need to dry?

Dry BVOH for at least 4 hours at 45°C. Heavily absorbed spools may need up to twice as long.

Can I print BVOH directly from the dryer?

Yes — printing directly from an active dryer is the best approach for moisture-sensitive filaments. iDryer supports pass-through printing with active drying during your print.
