i need some sort of filament dryer. i originally was going to get a food dehydrator because it felt like a "better" purchase, maybe i could use it for actually drying food or something (even though i've never needed a food dehydrator in my entire life). but then you can't print out of a dehydrator and you'd need some other bullshit to hold the spool while printing. is it worth just getting a purpose built filament dryer like pic related? i'd rather not have some nigger-rigged setup. i've been putting off using nylon and TPU because it's such a motherfucker to try and oven-dry it every time i want to use it.

𓀐 @cs+Rv82W: >i'd rather not have some nigger-rigged setup If you want a ready to use purpose-built solution, then the kind you posted which heat the filament is the only option, they all use the same technology. The only real alternatives are either desiccant (you have to manually refill/refresh), or solid-state moisture-removal, which is expensive and I haven't seen one integrated into the device, you still have to manually design an enclosure for those.+

𓀐 @DWHmQ5BU: You often don't need to print out of a filament drier, for non-CF PETG or for silk PLA it's definitely not a requirement, but for CF filaments, PA, TPU, or multi-day prints, it would help. PA-CF specifically would make me desire the ability to print directly from a drier, though I don't know how quickly it begins to absorb moisture. For drying nylons, cheap driers like that won't cut it. That Comgrow shitbox especially only goes up to 50C unless I read wrong. I'd be looking at something specifically high temperature like the Elegoo H1HT, Bambu AMS HT, or Sunlu E2. MyTechFun has some good videos on drying nylon filaments, if I recall 80C or above is preferred for nylons. >they all use the same technology No there's three broad categories. The cheap ones: >wide flat element, often self-regulating >less than 50W, usually with external power adapter >get up to 50C reliably after a short while, 60C can be a struggle >no airflow directly through the core of the heating element >often just a couple of power modes instead of temperature setting >sometimes have vent holes, usually rely on air leakage around gaps >often just a small fan to circulate air, sometimes no fan at all The mid-tier ones: >hollow heating element that air is forced through >usually 75-150W, usually direct AC input >can usually get up to 70C if not higher >proper temperature setting on the display >no humidity readout >usually a vent hole or two to let moisture out >decent airflow And the high-tier ones: >whatever fan and heater arrangement that can get up above 80C >at least 100W, usually direct AC input >measures and displays temperature and humidity >active vent that opens and closes when moisture needs to be released Do you mean turning scrap/pellets into filament? Or just respooling?+
