- Опубликовано: 1 июл 2024
- The final part of my three part series on building a closed loop control filament dryer.
UPDATE: As promised, here is a link to the entire project build plans: www.thingiverse.com/thing:275...
Currently you'll need to download the instructions from the word document linked int the thingiverse file. I plan on having this up on instructables soon. I just wanted to make sure I at least got it posted for you guys as promised!
If you have any questions, feel free to post them in the comments section or contact me on Twitter @jimscuba2386
I hope you all enjoyed the project and you get a chance to build one yourself soon!
I just made the filament dryer from your videos. Got my first spool of PLA in there now. Your guide was excellent. This is a fantastic concept. I'll let you know how things turn out. I'll also be trying out some PETG as well. Finding the Incandescent light bulbs is the hardest part.
do you have any way to measure the avg. moisture in the roll before vs. after? That would help to create a % of moisture decrease per hour, etc... Then you could add a timer control on it, etc.. obviously different for each filament type... But, overall, another good video!
BurninGems you could probably do it by weight of the roll before and after assuming you have a large amount of material (obviously 10g’s of filament will still absorb the same % of water as 1kg of filaments, but the smaller amount will have a tiny different based on weight. ) The keys to drying are to get the right temp for the specific material and time.
Unless the material was submerged in water as I showed in my earlier videos, 12-18 hours is more than enough to get your material dry again :)
The software I wrote does allow you to set drying time and then after that time is complete, the dryer switches to a humidity hold mode meaning it doesn’t keep a high temperature in the container...it only adds just enough heat to keep the humidity below the specified percentage :)
BurninGems Thank you for the feedback!
@@jim2386 Jim i am intrigued by this. I wonder if you could use an arduino uno and a reptile heater to make a temperature and humidity controlled storage box
