Damp filament strings and pops, and a dryer is cheaper than a failed print · review
A compact dryer with a 45 W PTC heater and fan, stepless temperature, a humidity monitor and support for 1.75, 2.85 and 3 mm filament.
EIBOS points out that a PTC heater with a fan beats a heat pad for even drying.
A low number shows the box is dry, not the spool.
Nylon needs real heat, and 45 W is modest.

No. It reads the air in the box, not the filament.
