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.

    What issues? Brittleness?

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

      I’ve had bad stringing before with PLA, drying it made it go away completely with the exact same print settings and model.

      I’d argue that the vast amount of (recent, not only older) resources available online showing similar experiences to mine disproves your statement that PLA has no issues with moisture retention.
