Elegoo's first dryer reaches 85C to eliminate wet-filament problems like popping, stringing, and weak layers.
A dedicated dryer for hygroscopic filaments
Elegoo has released its first filament dryer, the H1 HT, targeting the moisture-related failures that plague FDM prints. The unit heats up to 85C and rotates the spool for even drying across PLA, PETG, nylon, and polycarbonate.
The 85C ceiling is what sets it apart from basic warming boxes. PLA typically dries around 55C, PETG around 65C, and nylon around 75C in community practice. That extra headroom matters when a spool has been left open in a humid room or has started to hiss during extrusion.
The dryer includes active moisture venting, automatic spool rotation, and 11 preset drying modes. Elegoo prices it around $70 to $79, depending on region, positioning it as an accessory rather than a printer-specific upgrade.
Moisture control has moved from an advanced tweak to a mainstream expectation in 3D printing. The H1 HT is Elegoo's answer to makers who have watched an otherwise good print fail because the filament absorbed water from the air.
