Drying Filament in a Microwave: Fast Solution or Fire Hazard?

Drying 3D printing filament can be a slow and frustrating process. Standard filament dryers with a maximum temperature of 70°C often struggle, especially with materials like PETG, Nylon, and TPU. Using a microwave can drastically speed things up, but it comes with risks—like the potential for the filament to ignite with certain materials. Proceed with caution!
