Topic: Filament storage question

most of the time I only have 2 to 3 spare rolls of filament.
I am thinking of using a 5 Gallon bucket with a screw on lid. put a piece of PVC pipe in the middle to drop the spools on with this Dehumidifying rod inside the pipe. would it dry the filament out to much.

Thanks
Dale

Might want to read the reviews on that, and see the pictures on the broken plug. looks like a fire hazard to me. Just get a desiccant or silica gel and keep in the bucket as well.

Re: Filament storage question

There are reusable desiccants you can dry out in the oven.
