Not a bad idea. I was thinking about using a cold minifridge with small holes to fit the filament out . It would warm up over a a few feet before it fed into the solidoodle.

I move my solidoodle around a good bit (few times a year) so it's not super viable for me to attach to a specific AC system.

Your air conditioner dries the air as well as cools it. Why not make a box that sets over the floor register that is continuously pressurized with cool dry air? Of course, it would only work in the summer but hey, the AC is already running, why create heat if you already have a source of dry air?

I designed my house with the AC registers in the ceiling (more efficient for cold heavy air to fall than trying to "fill up" the room with cool air, from the floor and, yes, it works much better). So, I don't have a handy way to apply this idea but I'll bet many of you can.

All you need is a cardboard box with a hole in the bottom, let us know how it works.
