Re: food dehydrator to dry filament

You can store it the freezer to keep moisture out and you can use the freezer to remove moisture as well. It's a process called sublimation.

I keep the Lid to the fry daddy i use for vapor bathing in the freezer and my wife always fusses about it. So i can just see her now if
i start putting filament in it.

I took my calibrated type K TC meter and checked the temp.
it fluctuates about 10°F but average is 162°F

Re: food dehydrator to dry filament

I live in Florida and the outside temp and humidity are high.
the temp and humidity inside is 79° & 41%
below is the outside temp and humidity
and below that is what is considered the optimum
indoor humidity. My indoor humidity is Optimum.
