Sunlu S1 Filament Dryer PTFE Anchor + Hygrometer

<p>Thanks to Enthusiast creating a great mod! &nbsp;Just remixed it to merge a Hygrometer to the front.&nbsp;</p><p>I got the hygrometer holder from Buszmen61 on Thingiverse. &nbsp;<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4650052">Sunlu &amp; eSUN filament drybox - holders for hygrometer without drilling by Buszmen61 - Thingiverse.</a></p><p><strong>PRINTING</strong></p><ul><li>No supports</li><li>Use PETG or ABS.

Place the base over those holdes with the flat side against the S1. Replace the screws. &nbsp;Print the hygrometer. Install the PTFE tube into the anchor. &nbsp;Enthusiast intended a 4mm nut to hold the PTFE tube inplace. &nbsp;I have not needed one yet. &nbsp;The tube fit in snuggly. Install the Hygrometer in the Anchor. Finally, slid anchor into base and close the lid. &nbsp;You are done. &nbsp;</p><p><strong>WHY?</strong></p><p>Nearly all of the PTFE tube mods for the S1 exit the front pointed down. I liked Enthusiast's Anchor for PTFE tube, since it angled upward, which is what I needed. I also wanted a Hygrometer. The cleanest ones I found use the hole on the top front. Blocking that hole will prevent moisture from being able to escape, which is the whole point of the Dryer. I didn't want to drill holes in it (in case I change the setup around, which is highly likely).&nbsp;</p><p>Solution… connect the Hygrometer from Buszmen61 and combine it with the anchor. &nbsp;First iteration was in PLA. It was 90 degrees. It bumped the lid, which I could live with. Then it started melting. &nbsp;I thought it would be okay, since it was separated from the heat plate by the PETG base. Wrong. &nbsp;So, since I had to reprint it, I rotated it 5 degrees and trimmed the anchor for printing flat. I like it. &nbsp;Hope you like it too. Happy printing!</p><p>Timelapse:&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtu.be/AXqCjFr2r6s"></oembed></figure>
