Hi friends, I don't know about you but I was asking myself about the impact of humidity on filaments. Many friends of mine have Sunlu or eSun filament dryer boxes. Beautiful and well done but dedicated objects. As I don’t need to have my dryer near the printer nor dry my filament during the printing process… and I like dried tomatoes… I decided to use an aliment dryer to dry my filaments,I bought a basic Livoo dehydrator of 32cm diameter at Amazon. And, because I was jealous of the specialized boxes, I added an hygrometer/thermometer. Unfortunately, I didn't find how to install a kitchen scale. A pity ! :) Because of this specific configuration (and for pleasure) I designed my own lifters. My idea was to be able to keep all the components in the original box to gain volume. To to that, I decided to use a tray upside down for the top. This orientation allows to have small lifter. And I can put a 1kg spool inside. All my own specifications are respected, so I’m happy !The system is composed of standard lifters of 90° each. So, if you use 4 of them you have a full circle and you don’t need hygrometer. I designed too a special lifter to install the hygrometer. Use 3 standard with it to have the full circle. There is too a piece (printed in two parts) to maintain the spool.I generally use PLA, PETG and TPU. I’ve read many time that the parts printed for dryer have to be printed in PETG or with a more heat resistant material. But IMHO, as the machine must avoid to distort the filament during process, there is no risk of distorting the lifters. So I printed in PLA. I can tell you that I dried at 65°c without any problem with PLA lifters. But anyway. If you prefer PETG is good too.I printed 0.28mm with an infill of 10% and without supports. Very easy printing.I hope this will be helpful for you. Bonjour chez vous !
