Dry Box 3D Printing

Video

In this Video I'm showing you how to make a simple heated dry-box for your 3D printing filament that you can use whilst 3D Printing. The start of the video also has an update on the MasterSpool project - if you want to skip that just to 4:42 * Edit - A few people are not getting the point of this heated dry-box. It's not intended as a materials dryer for filaments that are already loaded with moisture, that's not the reason I added a heater to a 'dry-box' It's a dry-box with a stable internal ambient temperature around 30 Degrees C and a controlled humidity - the point being external temperature changes and humidity changes do not affect the filament inside the dry-box - I'm trying to get as much stability and repeat-ability as possible. I want my materials to perform the same way each time I use them - you will still have to dry out materials like Nylon - but then put it inside the heated dry-box and print with it or store it in a sealed bag to get the maximum working life before needing to dry it out again. I'll also update the Blog post about this Heated Dry-Box project, to explain more about how temperature and humidity are related and define what are good and bad conditions for 3D printing materials. * Edit - With just a few basic items from eBay (or similar) and some 3D design files to print (links below) - you can make a drybox for both storage and in use while 3D printing.
