Filament Dryer Chamber Extensions

thingiverse

I designed these cylinder compartments to transform a food dehydrator into an improvised filament dryer. I fabricated two sizes based on how many spools I wanted to dry simultaneously. Here is the dehydrator that I use: https://amzn.to/2y7Nw46 This one should also work, but you may need to adjust the print size slightly: https://amzn.to/2V0AhLs *Important: DO NOT PRINT WITH PLA!!! Make sure you print with a material that has a higher heat tolerance than PETG, PEAK, or Nylon. If not, they will warp from the dehydrator's heat production. You can expect some shrinkage over time as the plastic anneals from the heat, which is normal. This project is ongoing, so I'll be making adjustments. For instance, I'll make them stackable. Currently, you can place one on top of another, but it may shift from fan vibration and fall off depending on your machine. I can fit 4 to 5 spools in mine at one time depending on the filament brand.
