			As a rule of thumb, filaments shall be dried below the glass transition temperature (Tg) of a material-type to prevent crystallization / softening of the material that could cause the filament to stick together.
	* '''PLA''' - 45C (~~113F~~) ~~at least 4 hours~~		<pre>
	* '''ABS''' - ~~60C (140F) at least 2 hours~~		TYPE Temperature
	* '''PETG~~'''~~ - 65C (149F) at least 2 hours		---------------------------
	* '''Nylon''' - 70C (158F) at least 12 hours		PLA 40 to 45°C
	* '''~~Dessicant~~''' ~~(Silica Gel) - 65C (149F) at least 3 hours~~		Tough PLA 40°C
			Nylon 40 to 70°C
	~~Note~~ that though calcium chloride can be dried out it requires a more complex method that just sticking it in an dehydrator oven and because of that it is not recomended to do at home.		TPU95A 40°C
			Breakaway 40°C
			PVA 50°C
			PETG 65°C
			CPE 65°C
			CPE+ 70°C
			PC 70°C
			ABS 60 to 70°C
			PP Not needed
			===========================
			Dessicants

			'''Note''' that though ''calcium chloride'' can be dried out it requires a more complex method that just sticking it in an dehydrator oven and because of that it is not recomended to do at home.
