How to Dry TPI Filament
TPI (Thermoplastic Polyimide) 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 TPI?
Set your filament dryer to 150°C for TPI. This applies to iDryer, Sunlu S1, Creality Filament Dryer, and similar devices.
How long does TPI need to dry?
Dry TPI for at least 8 hours at 150°C. Heavily absorbed spools may need up to twice as long.
Can I print TPI 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.
