How long to dry your spool
A wet spool strings, pops and prints weak. Bambu's two drying AMS units heat the spool for you, and its slicer carries a drying temperature and time for every filament it knows, idle and while printing. Pick yours.
Find your spoolWhat Bambu's data says
Two boxes, two ceilings. The AMS 2 Pro dries at 45 to 65 °C, the AMS HT at 45 to 85 °C. The slicer will not start a cycle outside that range, or one longer than 24 hours.
43 of 100 need the HT. For nylons, ABS, ASA, PC, TPU and PVA the presets list only the AMS HT. Dry them in the 2 Pro and the slicer warns: "This filament may not be completely dried."
Cooler while printing. PETG dries at 65 °C when the printer is idle and 55 °C while it prints. ABS in the HT goes from 80 to 75 °C.
Your spool
AMS 2 Pro
AMS HT
From BambuStudio 02.08.02.61: each filament's @base preset in resources/profiles/BBL/filament, through its inherits chain: filament_dev_ams_drying_temperature and _time (idle AMS 2 Pro, idle AMS HT, then the same two while printing, as DevUtilBackend.cpp reads them), _ams_limitations and _heat_distortion_temperature. The 45 to 65 and 45 to 85 °C limits, the 1 to 24 hour limit and the warning text are in AMSDryControl.cpp. These are the slicer's presets; we have not weighed the water out of a spool.
