Heat Bed Powered Filament Dryer / Dehydrator

thingiverse

If my things have saved you time or money or otherwise been of value, you could let me know by using Thingiverse's "Tip Designer" feature. I enjoy tipping designers of useful things since they introduced the function. This is a simple enclosure to dry spools of filament using the heat of your 3D printer heatbed. It was designed to fit 2 average spools of filament, with space left for airflow around the perimeter. The base serves to elevate the spools off the bed, and center the enclosure. I was able to rehab some very compromised filament by heating it in this enclosure. I chose 100C which gave me a stabilized internal temperature of about 50C. You'll need to experiment on your own. A new, more efficient version is in work and will be updated here in the coming days.
