Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature should I set my filament dryer for PA11?
Set your filament dryer to 80°C for PA11. This applies to iDryer, Sunlu S1, Creality Filament Dryer, and similar devices.
How long does PA11 need to dry?
Dry PA11 for at least 12 hours at 80°C. Heavily absorbed spools may need up to twice as long.
Can I print PA11 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.
