Escape the High Costs: 3D Print the Best Filament Dyer under $40 

Man. Just keep going on.. I live in Turkey and I understand the economic conditions of the country very well. It's great that you're trying so hard in a country where even living is difficult. If you spend enough time and continue to improve yourself, you will get closer to where you want to be in not too long.

Oh my gosh, finally someone is showing wiring the human way

*Wow, this DIY filament dryer is an absolute game-changer! 💡 The ingenuity and creativity behind this build are truly inspiring. Plus, the fact that it's under $40 makes it even more incredible. Thanks a ton for sharing this innovation with us! Can't wait to try it out myself. 🚀*

Defiantly not under $40, but still looks great. You can make this even cheaper. You can find digital temp controllers for about $5, a 50w PTC heater with fan for $15, 60w 24v PSU for under $10, and a humidity reader for about $5 (5 or 6 packs are ~$10). I would recommend putting silica gel near the heater. And TPU printed gaskets would be nice As for the filament used to print this, change the infill to 5-10% depending on the infill type and single walls to all the areas that don't need structural support. Pro tip; you need a little bit of air to get out on top so the humidity has somewhere to go Last thing, I've been using storage containers and silica gel for the longest (i started 3D printing back around 2012) and i also have a Filament Dryer i picked up for $5 because it was missing the PSU. I found the filament dryer isn't any better UNLESS you have a large silica container in in and NEED to dry your filament fast.

I was sure someone tried to make a filament dryer! bro i will try it now thx for proof of concept

aaah, de DIY spirit, Prevents me from buying many things as well😂😂

love yout DIY spirit nice video keep up the good work and i might gif this a try even to i already have a filament dryer ;)

Imagine buying 3d printer and NOT printing your own dryer :D

i love the idea, i would recommend swapping out the heatbed with a PTC heater for safety reasons :)

Good luck buddy, thank you

this is the best idea in the net , the heat matt. the circulating air fan and the silica gel , basically the best of both world, I can get the petg filament locally and cheaper than pla, thank for this eye opener video.

Leaving a comment to feed the algorithm, this looks like a fun build and a solid alternative if you cant (or don't want to) adapt a used food dehydrator or go for something like the Sunlu S4

How did this cost only 36 dollars to make, just the filament will cost you at least 30 dollars, then 15 dollars for the stl files, another 20 dollars for the controllers, then you still need the power supply, wire, the humidity display, the power cord connector, the heater element, two 5015 fans and the silica beads

Very good sir!

Подобные сушилки не новость, но правильнее было бы использовать листы дерева (фанеру) для корпуса, чтобы можно было греть до температуры сушки ABS, Nylon, а эту можно только с осушающим гелем использовать.

Persistance is key buddy! A failure is not a fail...it's an opportunity to learn what NOT to do next try.

It would be interesting to add a dessicant pool and test if it makes it dry the filament faster

Great Video! have you considered printing the feet (or part of) out of TPU?

You could make a small version of this that uses the printer as the heat source make a small single roll version that slides over your heatbed and then just use usb to power the 2 fans thanks for the proof of concept ill be trying my own design and ill be uploading it

Hi, really cool project. Do you know what the current draw of the heated bed is? I have an extra as well but can't find any info on my specific model I want to use a esp8266 to control the relay so I can turn it on wirelessly. So I'll need a buck convertor to step down the 12v to the 8266 and then maybe another to step back up. I am just planning on using a normal 5v relay, not the one you used. Thanks!

How about saving time and money, build a dryer around a one dollar plastic bucket with a lid!

This video is going to take off I’m calling it now

I use a free filament dryer, my stove

good video, very nice editing aswell! mustve taken a long time of painful editing haha

I would like to dry Nylon and PC, something like 90c is needed

Nice video bro , very informative, I found some hdpe and pp filament online would you want to test it ?

Hello, thank you for your video. Please don't add subtitles because when you don't speak English and you're using RU-vid's translator, the subtitles in your video interfere with subtitles in other languages, so please let those who need subtitles activate them in RU-vid ;o)

Bro i want to make toy and sall but i want a guide

What a terrible design... Nice try though. Give you that.
