filament dryer
I wanted a filament dryer but decided not to buy a expensive one and decided to do this
bought a wine fridge used $75.00n used
bought a dehydrator $25.00 used
3 lights $20.00
removed the control box from the wine fridge and used the power leads to connect to my lighting consisting of two vertical lights and one for the overhead light
3d printed a box to contain the power supply for the thermometer and the overhead light
placed the dehydrator in the bottom
and you can see the finished product.
RE: filament dryer
Do you use incandescent lamps which act as heaters, and control them via a thermostat (not just thermometer)? In my understanding you need to heat the air inside the box, to ensure that the filament releases the water that has already bound to its matrix. Just surrounding the filament with dry but cool air is not effective.
