drying tower for filament

thingiverse

Tired of excessive oozing and vapor-spitting nozzles? Simplify your filament woes by constructing a drying tower equipped with two radiant heat sources. Insert the damp filament into this compact structure, allowing your printer to draw it directly from within. A ventilation system comprised of holes at the base welcomes fresh air, which is then warmed to 104 degrees Fahrenheit by the paired bulbs. As this hot air envelops the filament, it rapidly dries and emerges through a discreet outlet on top. The box's interior humidity levels measure around 20%. For precise temperature and humidity control, insert a wireless sensor into the enclosure, allowing you to monitor your filament's surroundings. This versatile drying tower accommodates spools of up to 4 pounds, offering ample space for storing your material. One limitation remains: the structure's considerable size necessitates a build plate with a diameter of at least 128 inches. Print Settings: Rafts: Not Required Supports: Optional
