I've seen many debates about the need to dry PLA filaments. Looks like some people never need to do anything while others dry the hell out of them before printing.

I've been recommended once to print at 10% RH… After 48h of drying, I can barely get below 37%…

So: what's the humidity level in the room your printer is?

@marcos @matlag according to my sources actually you can use PCTG & ASA which are less resistant to moisture in terms of #3dprinting thermoplastic filament I recommend PCTG because it’s in the same family as PETG yet x20 durable

    less resistant

    You mean "less vulnerable" here?

    I don't think we can move most people out of PLA. It's cheap and available everywhere. But I do agree it's worth pointing that some plastics do not have this problem.
