the box stays at a constant 25 degrees C

do you think the dehumidifier rod would be up to that task? if so can you get them in 240v versions?

It's a guide for running filament from a bunch of spools set up under the desk.

They have a lot of humidity sensors that could turn the heaters on and off in the box depending on humidity. Then feeding the filament through a piece of styrofoam,  we could have it go direct to the solidoodle.  But it's always on the bottom of my task list hmm

I suppose I could just do my initial dry in the oven and store the filament in something like that.

I have a big Tupperware container that I keep my filament with the golden rod. it keeps it dry and might work for what you were thinking.

Basically i would have several shelves to store spare filaments and have a station with a large spool and small spool holder to feed filament through a hole in the front.

The only reason I am thinking of doing this is I have some nylon on the way and I have heard of problems printing with moist nylon.

What do you think I should consider for the heating element?

I'll post a sketch up when I get time.
