Filament drying temperatures
Drying temperature and time for 33 spools across twelve manufacturers, taken from the picks in our filament guides. Every figure is transcribed from the manufacturer’s own published specification, with the page it came from printed under the row.
Collected on 26 August 2026. Manufacturers edit specification pages without notice.
What this is. Published manufacturer specifications, collected and cited. Every figure in the table carries the manufacturer page it came from and the date it was read.
What this is not. Nothing here was tested by 3D Prototyping Hub. These are starting points, and you should verify them on your own machine. Where a manufacturer does not publish a number, the field is blank and says so. There are a lot of those, and a blank is the honest answer rather than a gap someone filled in.
How to read a blank
Two different things are marked in this table and they do not mean the same thing.
not published means the manufacturer's page was read and the figure is not on it. That is common. On drying temperature it is 7 of 34 rows.
not verified means the manufacturer's page could not be reached at all, so nothing is known either way. It is not a blank and it is not a zero. On drying temperature it is 2 of 34 rows.
The two are counted separately on purpose, and they are never added together. A figure nobody publishes and a figure nobody could reach are different facts, and merging them would report a confidence this document does not have.
Tg is not a drying ceiling. Where the "Max drying temp / Tg" column shows a glass transition temperature, it is labelled as one. A Tg is a material property, not a drying instruction, and it is never converted into a maximum here. Of the 33 spools here, 3 have a manufacturer-stated maximum drying temperature and 22 publish neither a maximum nor a glass transition temperature.

Prusa states the drying temperatures are not to be exceeded: "It is important not to exceed these temperatures while drying the filament, or the filament will soften and stick together." That is why this row has a real ceiling and most rows do not. | ||||||||

The filament cheat sheet says 60°C for 5 hours; the drying guide (https://overture3d.com/blogs/overture-blogs/overture-3d-filament-drying-guide) says 65°C for 7 hours. The cheat sheet value is used here because it is the per-product table. The disagreement is the manufacturer's, not ours, and is left visible rather than averaged. | ||||||||

The forced-air oven column is used here; the printer-bed and AMS columns are printer-specific and out of scope for this sheet. Bambu's store page defers all drying detail to this wiki page and publishes no nozzle, bed or speed figures alongside it; those live in slicer profiles rather than in a document. | ||||||||

No manufacturer source reached. Retrieved 2026-08-26. NOT A PRODUCT. The ASA guide's "ASA-CF" pick, headed "Best for Large Flat Parts", names no brand in the heading, names none in the body, and links to a generic Amazon search. "ASA-CF" is a material category, not a spool, so there is no manufacturer page to cite and no row to fill. Flagged, not guessed. This is a defect in the post, not a gap in the collection. Bambu Lab ASA-CF, in the carbon fibre guide, is a different and properly named entry and does have a row of its own. | ||||||||

Sources: https://ninjatek.com/wp-content/uploads/NinjaFlex-TDS.pdf https://ninjatek.com/shop/ninjaflex/Retrieved 2026-08-26. This row is the clearest possible argument against deriving a drying ceiling from Tg. NinjaTek publishes a real, measured glass transition temperature of -35 °C. Read as a drying ceiling it would mean the spool must never be warmed above -35 °C, which is nonsense. Tg is a material property, not a drying instruction. | ||||||||

Note that the published drying temperature (100 °C) is ABOVE the published glass transition temperature (74.2 °C), from the same manufacturer on the same data sheet.
