I watched a 3D printing youtuber say that Adam Savage said 20% but 10% is what he uses.

I have never seen my sunlu dryer show anything bellow 23% even after days of use and I have no idea how to achieve 10 without cooking the filament.

    Likewise, I have had PLA get brittle and snap on the way to the extruder when left loaded on the printer and exposed in my basement for extended periods, but this behavior disappears after I bake it in the filament dryer, even on the same spool.

      You solved that via annealing and releasing the stress in the PLA, not by drying it.
