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.

Try running your dryer with the lid propped open a bit. Most Sunlu dryers don't have a way to get rid of the humid air pulled out of the filament.

This made an enormous difference. I kept the lid open a crack and the moisture dropped bellow 20 within an hour. The room RH is 30 btw.

Yep. I can get ASA down to 12% with an ambient 50%RH using that method.

There are some models out there for wedges with reverse Bowden fittings so you can keep it cracked open all the time.
