I put my TPU in a standard convection oven at 200F for 6 hours. Spread it on a cooking sheet no more then 4cm thick.

Re: Best Pre-Drying Methods

How about an electric dehumidifier in the printingroom?
I have one and have not had any problems with moisture in my filaments (nylon mostly).

I dehumidfy about 1 liter water a day there.
