So tried out some PETG for the first time, and the first couple prints went really well. but I believe it’s picked up quite a bit of moisture, sitting in the basement.

What’s the current recommendation for a filament dryer? there was one on /r/3dprintingdeals a bit back, a Sunlu S2. is the S1 good enough, or should someone who’s fairly recreational with everything spring for a S2? I see food dehydrators recommended sometimes, is there anything specific to look for in one?

    That, and if your filament has anything toxic that can off-gas when you heat it, you probably don’t want it in your oven (if you use your oven for cooking food).

    I’m not sure which filaments are or are not going to have any additives that might be problematic, but since almost nobody actually says what’s in their filaments, it’s probably a good idea to just assume it’s all not good for you and keep it away from your oven.
