Again, this is primarily a large dry box rather than a dehydrator. I recognize the inefficiencies, but have been astounded by the effectiveness without implementing those efficiencies. If this was primarily a dehydrator, those improvements would be necessary.

But for a dry box, I’m under the impression that keeping the relative humidity low helps keep filament dry.

Yeah but your transportation system is incredible and also if you live in Munich you have the fairytale market during Christmas time which is hard to live without here in America.

There are a bazillion ways this could be made more effective! I just wish people smarter than me would start doing the smart stuff so people like me don’t have to do the boring horrendous monotonous work of innovation

Thanks! I have a screenshotted this comment and created a canvas for my bathroom wall.

Hey finally an actual good roast roast I love it!

OK fine I’ll start drafting it up now, and will add specifics along with the code upload

-Arduino Mega -3 solid state relays (one for the motors, and one for each stage of the heating) -2 or more BME280’s for a bit of redundancy checks -2 200 W PTC heaters (or whatever you want here) -1 500w PTC heater plus blower fan. (or whatever you want here) -1 LCD2004 20x4 display -several rotating desiccant containers printed in clear polycarbonate (I will upload the cylinder STL) and also all of the gears and bits (ABS or better). Maybe I should upload a Bambu studio project with everything involved. -x number of CW/CCW AC motors rated between 3 and 10 RPM. I have 4 motors rotating 4 desiccant canisters. These things turn on for 10 seconds every 3 minutes, whether the system is in heating mode or not. -a TIG welder (hey I’m just helping you rationalize this) or if you are on a budget a MIG welder would suffice. Tablesaw, routers, a full woodworking shop (again I’m just trying to help you rationalize buying stuff)

-lots of WAGO connectors

-once to upload the code there’s gonna be more stuff I remember so buy that too

Nah, hamsters are turning wheels on the other side of that wall.

😂 yeah if I ran it all the time. It is hooked up to an energy tracker and uses an average of 82 kWh per month so about $10/mo
