How To: Dehydrate 3d printer filament - YouTube Safety Glasses Required

I show you how to use a food dehydrator to dry wet 3d printer filament and prevent stringing. Have you ever 3d printed a nearly perfect part only to have it ruined by oozing and stringing?

Food Dehydrator I used to dry my filament: http://amzn.to/2s42vVg I dried the filament for 12 hours at 140F for PLA. Higher temp materials (ABS/Nylon/etc) could be dried at 160F for shorter periods of time.
