Correlating Filament Dryer Settings to Numerical Values
The goal of this experiment is to correlate the setting labels on the EnCuerdas single-spool filament dryer to actual numerical temperature values.
Procedure
- Fix thermocouple about 3cm into filament dryer through front filament hole. Use tape to secure.
- Remove filament from dryer.
- Repeat for each setting:
- Adjust temperature in predefined increments (the borders between settings) and wait for temperature to stabilize.
- Record stabilized temperature.
Equipment
- EnCuerdas single-spool filament dryer - Model #: Easdry 2305 120V
- AstroAI multimeter - Model #: DM6000AR - Temperature not calibrated.
- Standard AstroAI thermocouple
- 3M Painter’s Tape

Conclusion
I sharpie’d on the temperature readings in their appropriate spots. Now, I’ll be able to dry at higher temps without fear of melting any filament.
