How to Dry OBC Filament
OBC (Olefin Block 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.
Signs your OBC filament needs drying
Popping / crackling sounds during printing
Excessive stringing
Bubbles in extrusion
Poor layer adhesion
Inconsistent extrusion

How long does OBC need to dry?
