DIY Filament Dehydrator

large_preview_Dehydrator_Panels.jpg

This is based on the multitude of DIY videos and articles about adapting a food dehydrator for 3D filament use.

This extension collar is designed for the Rosewill Countertop Dehydrator which looks mysteriously like the PrintDry Drying System‘s dehydrator.

The DIY directions show cutting the grids out of the stacking rings to make room for the filament spools. When I bought the dehydrator that was my plan, but after using it to recharge used desiccant packets, I decided to keep the grids intact. After some measuring, some test prints and gluing I came up with this design.

With this design, two reels can fit in the dehydrator, and the grids can be used simultaneously to recharge desiccant packets. By printing additional collars more than two reels could be accommodated.
