Video Repost: Combined the two filament dryer videos into one and fixed some copyrighted music issues.
We continue adding to the 4-color Frankenprinter with a new filament dryer which can feed four spools at once to the printer. It can reach temps suitable for drying PETg and ASA filament for 3D printing, too!

I like the DIY spirit to build something like this. However dealing with heating elements and the possibility of fire increases a lot. SUNLU S4 is for 4 filaments and only costs 119 euros at the moment. You can print right from it .

@sedrik2000 2 месяца назад

Great video! DIY really is the way to go most of the time for me. I got 2 questions- first, did you manage to evenly-dehydrate the filaments? I assume that the spools won't move unless ur printing, so it might dry more the part thats closer to the heater than the other sides. Second, did you try other materials like nylon? Which I read need around 80+ celcius

@mightystudiosvids 2 месяца назад

I have not tried nylon, but I know the box I built will not reach 80c. The heater uses a circulation fan, and since the box is rather small I assume to the heat is circulating well enough.

@williamgrenville6302 Месяц назад

Is there anything you recommend for getting higher temps as i need to dry nylon and 80c is basically the minimum and at that temp can take at least 24h to dry fully 😅

@Stoney3K Месяц назад

My air fryer goes down to 80C so if you have one lying around that could be an option. I wouldn't recommend using it for food after drying nylon though.

@neilcunningham2665 2 месяца назад

looking at building one of these nice idea. Did you open holes in the plastic tub by the fan or are the vent you speak of the only open seal in the tote?

@mightystudiosvids 2 месяца назад

the only holes are the vent holes shown. one low and one high to let convection remove the humid air.

@@mightystudiosvids Thanks I need to modiffy the fan housing but you did not include any step files and I tried to convert in fusion bit it claims this unit is 934.mm long. Any ideas>

Buy the sunlu...110

thx for your video, i build one myself

Glad I could help

SunLu 4 Spool filament dryer costs USD 137.00.

@mightystudiosvids 27 дней назад

yeah, now that the Sunlu is available that's a way easier option.

I took inspiration from your earlier videos and went total jank. Using a cardboard wine box, 2 120v "500" watt heaters, with built-in fans, from Amazon and a 10 amp temperature controller, also from Amazon, I was able to dry ABS at 75 C. For insulation, I used a drop cloth from Harbor Freight, folded and draped over the box.

@mightystudiosvids 4 месяца назад

Whatever works, right? 75C is better than I could achieve with this design.

@cidercreekranch 4 месяца назад

@@mightystudiosvids Thanks! I needed both heaters to get to 75 C. One heater alone could dry PLA.

@builderbb8767 Месяц назад

Exactly what I needed to build, thinking about using an old Coleman cooler and lining with the reflective fiberglass inside.

@jasoncorbett6398 Месяц назад

So how would taking a 3d printer heat bed puting it bottom taking the thermistor and putting near top of box. And using 3d printer control board and screen to control it. I'd use 24v set up to get a hotter area. If lucky you could have tevo tornado heat bed that pulls 110v and should more than get hot enough. Add computer fans to circulate the air

hmm, a commercial food dehydrator is only about 50 canadian dollars and can be modified to be printed from

@incubatork Месяц назад

as a heater element you could try a reptile heat mat, less than $10 they are cheap and come in all sorts of sizes, also a plant propagator heat mat, usually more expensive but waterproof that also come in all shapes and sizes.

@calebkierum6871 Месяц назад

Could you explain more about the steam escape and the one at the bottom for the "convection flow". So I have seen many things (IE my pressure cooker) have valves at the top to slowly release steam. But that's high pressure steam. Why is a simple valve at the top helping release humidity/steam from the box? And I am not quite sure I understand what you mean by "convection flow" like what kind of air is coming in through that valve? How does it help dry filament more efficiently? And I cant quite tell are those heating elements outside or inside of the box?

@mightystudiosvids Месяц назад

The heating element is inside the box. What you see on the outside is just the electronics control board. Since hot air rises, I added two holes to the box that I can open. One low and one high. The upper hole lets the hot steam escape so it does not remain trapped in the box. To help it vent faster, the lower hole lets cooler room air flow into the box. This creates a convection current through the box from the lower hole to the upper hole, allowing the moist air to be removed. Hope this helps.
