How to Dry PSU Filament

PSU (Polysulfone) 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 PSU?

Set your filament dryer to 150°C for PSU. This applies to iDryer, Sunlu S1, Creality Filament Dryer, and similar devices.

How long does PSU need to dry?

Dry PSU for at least 6 hours at 150°C. Heavily absorbed spools may need up to twice as long.

Can I print PSU 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.
