  • Filament still exhibiting moisture issues (stringing, bubbles, poor adhesion) after drying:
    Ensure the correct temperature and sufficient drying time were selected for your specific filament type. Refer to the recommended settings table. The minimum humidity display value is fixed at 15%; this does not mean the filament is not fully dry.
  • Dryer box not heating:
    Check if the power cord is securely plugged in and the power switch is turned on. Verify that the temperature setting is above the ambient temperature.
