Rotating Filament Dryer Kit (for ANKO Food Dehydrator)

thingiverse

(This is still a WIP) This is a simple Filament Dryer assembly using a "ANKO Food Dehydrator" sold at K Mart to dry spools. You will need; Taper Roller Bearing C32010XJA1 ID: 50mm OD: 80mm Width: 20mm Superglue or other high heat adhesive The bearing used is generally cheap ($13.50 NZD) but can use any alternative that is the same width or wider. It can withstand as many rolls as you reasonably want to fit... Press all these together over the bearing and Superglue the bottom half to the Food Dehydrator Assembly. The roll should lay horizontally and spin freely. The bearing is OTT because of the ID required for the airflow from the ANKO Food Dehydrator. Walls are only if you don't want to destroy the trays that come with the food dehydrator to make your walls. Print these with 0.8-1.2mm walls & 5-10% infill from PETG or other heat resistant filament, Glue together and re-use the lid that came with the food dehydrator.
