I bought this food dehydrator on Amazon to dry out filament:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018UR4XJI?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_detailsHowever, there was not enough vertical space to house my old filament spools. Therefore, I made some extenders that allow the dehydrator to store filament spools that are less than 72 mm in height (Hatchbox and Solutech both fit comfortably in here).On my Ender 3v2, I had to print the attached .stl 4x (I used 10% infill) in order to reach around the entire circumference of the dehydrator. Additionally, I used both rafts and supports on my print in order to make sure no warping/ unlevel prints were made.Lastly, I used duct tape to semi-seal the air gaps between the prints and to keep them in place. This should be fine as long as the dehydrator temperature is <140 deg F, according to this source:https://survivalfreedom.com/can-duct-tape-melt-where-to-use-it-most-effectively/#:~:text=Your%20duct%2Dtape%20will%20do,your%20tape%20falls%20off%20completely.I was able to run the dehydrator on my spool of Solutech brand PLA overnight at 131 deg F, with no noticeable issues with the duct tape's glue.Print SettingsPrinter Brand:CrealityPrinter: Ender 3Rafts:YesSupports: YesInfill:10Filament:Hatchbox PLA  Category: 3D Printer Accessories
