You can use any printer for this, I use my old ender 3 as a filament dryer
Without an enclosure?
@@tada3dprintingJust some holes in the lid can be enough for air to circulate and do the job
@@tada3dprintingIt is like an electric cooking plate cooking foof, water has to go away, if You want the food dry, if You want the food to cook slowly and retain more water then You put a pot lud on.
A better example is rhe food dehydrator, a flow of warm air is pushed on the food, water evaporates from food and that moisty warm air is make flow away.
In a clised printer like the X1C , in my opinion, one should remove the top cover to remove the warm humid air at the top of the chamber; otherwise it is likely humidity will flow down along colder printer sides.
They make You punt a cover on roll to have a hotter environment for all the roll.
It would be better to flip the filament mid "cook".
Could you maybe one day make a video on your top 10 favorite filaments? I will be heading to the US in 2 months and I plan to buy some filaments that are not available in Europe. Maybe it would be nice to get some shopping ideas (i am sure some of your favorites will also be available in europe).
Yes that's a good idea. Thank you!
I have the same printer. One good thing to use this printer to dry filament vs dedicated dryer is it runs so quietly. Other dryer I tried are too noisy.
Oh that's good to know! Thanks!
I would think you need to put some holes in the cardboard box to allow moisture to escape?
I assumed it would absorb in. But that's a good question. Thanks!
Cool tip!
Thanks!
That's awesome! But can I stack 3 rolls with the box lids from my bambu filaments for 12 hours?
I don't think so. I believe the heat bed is where the "drying" comes from. That's why they have you put a lid on it to keep it really toasty. I guess it might be worth trying tho. Thanks!
Would flipping the spool theoretically cook both sides evenly? Or is this perhaps unnecessary?@@tada3dprinting
Is this feature available on P1S?
I don't think it has this option. Thanks!
Did it work?
Seemed like it helped my benchy print better. Small detailed prints are improved but not much change on larger ones. Thanks!
In my opinion it is better to not let the filament get moist in the first place. I have an airtight box with moisture absorbing silica gel at the bottom that has 4 big spools of my most used filaments in it. I print directly from that, it is placed above the printer. The rest of my filament I store in more airtight boxes, but I also vacuum seal my filament after use.
Doesn't change the fact that they almost always come a little wet already.
Drying fresh spools is something everyone should do.
I really haven't had an issue before. This is new to me. Thanks!
So here's my only concern with the approach Bambu suggests. You are placing the filament on the heatbed and covering the spool. Where exactly is the moisture going to go as it is being driven out of the filament by heating? It will just stay in that covered area in the air and reabsorb into the filament as it cools, unless you periodically pull the lid off to let the steamy air out.
It's interesting that they have you flip it halfway, as that action alone would act to let the steamy air out, but then the problem persists for the second half of the "drying" cycle. I'm just worried that they are perpetuating the myth of heating=drying, which is not true. Heating releases the moisture, but you have to give it somewhere to go.
Your box approach seems somewhat better, as it is not 100% airtight, but my guess is that a fair amount of moisture just stays inside even that way.
That's interesting. Yeah I think a long term solution would be getting a dryer. Thank you!
Poking some small holes in the box may be an option.
Dry desiccant beads is pocible?
That's a good question. I'm not sure if that would work.
@@tada3dprinting am all ready try it, works great, I place the beads inside of a spools box cut the top,put everything uniform (flat) and wait, my only worry is if the beads fall between the platform can get smash and create a mess 🤔
After you click prepare, it homes and then moves the bed down. It doesn't move it again.
I think you just showed me my temporary solution until I buy an ams
Thank you!
Yeah... Good luck with that awesome idea.
You'll probably forget about it, they're looking for a new topic for their shallow and thematically tacky videos.
Printer is just too expensive to dry filament
Yes, not a long term solution but it worked good to see if drying would help my XL. Thanks!
12 hours....wtf....fuck all that
Yeah not quick
