Man. Just keep going on.. I live in Turkey and I understand the economic conditions of the country very well. It's great that you're trying so hard in a country where even living is difficult. If you spend enough time and continue to improve yourself, you will get closer to where you want to be in not too long.

[@Creative3DP]

Thanks mate, I will

[@Deathbyfartz]

i love the idea, i would recommend swapping out the heatbed with a PTC heater for safety reasons :)

[@MisterkeTube]

And I'd drop those 2 standard controller modules for an ESP8266 or ESP32 with a humidity and temperature sensor (no need to go for a module there either, just the much cheaper one-wire 3-pin component), a cheap OLED display, some buttons to control it (in addition to the WIFI control the ESP would give), a simple 5V power supply for the ESP and a dual-relay to turn on/off both Live and Neutral of AC going to the heater and some mosfets to control the fans. Then the software you write for the ESP allows it to keep things below a certain humidity and the control can be much more simple than the 2-module approach shown in the video. All of the above might even be cheaper than the components shown in the video (as you won't need a 24V supply), but of course will be more work.

*Wow, this DIY filament dryer is an absolute game-changer! 💡 The ingenuity and creativity behind this build are truly inspiring. Plus, the fact that it's under $40 makes it even more incredible. Thanks a ton for sharing this innovation with us! Can't wait to try it out myself. 🚀*

Thank you so much

Oh my gosh, finally someone is showing wiring the human way

[@Creative3DP]

Thanks

[@konkombre6686]

I was sure someone tried to make a filament dryer! bro i will try it now thx for proof of concept

[@Creative3DP]

Great, best of luck

[@christinamaltese4460]

this is the best idea in the net , the heat matt. the circulating air fan and the silica gel , basically the best of both world, I can get the petg filament locally and cheaper than pla, thank for this eye opener video.

[@Creative3DP]

Thanks

[@MikolajWnek]

My man, this is so cool! The electronics alone are huge help.

[@Creative3DP]

Thanks

[@ritesha8050]

aaah, de DIY spirit, Prevents me from buying many things as well😂😂

[@flojoairflojoair3369]

love yout DIY spirit nice video keep up the good work and i might gif this a try even to i already have a filament dryer ;)

[@Creative3DP]

great

[@SupaaMann]

Leaving a comment to feed the algorithm, this looks like a fun build and a solid alternative if you cant (or don't want to) adapt a used food dehydrator or go for something like the Sunlu S4

[@Creative3DP]

Thanks, yeah surely yes food dehydrator is also a good option

[@Eduard_Kolesnikov]

Good luck buddy, thank you

[@The_Makers_Prerogative]

Great Video! have you considered printing the feet (or part of) out of TPU?

[@Creative3DP]

I haven't but seems like a good to have proper grip

[@Cereal_Killr]

Persistance is key buddy! A failure is not a fail...it's an opportunity to learn what NOT to do next try.

[@Creative3DP]

Much needed! Thanks 👍

[@ZzFlaviazZ]

This video is going to take off I’m calling it now

[@Creative3DP]

Thanks I hope so, may God make words true

[@sacredknight8486]

It would be interesting to add a dessicant pool and test if it makes it dry the filament faster

[@Creative3DP]

It would be interesting to test since, I have included two large pockets/slots inside for desiccant packs.

[@epsweepstakes7889]

Hi, really cool project. Do you know what the current draw of the heated bed is? I have an extra as well but can't find any info on my specific model I want to use a esp8266 to control the relay so I can turn it on wirelessly. So I'll need a buck convertor to step down the 12v to the 8266 and then maybe another to step back up. I am just planning on using a normal 5v relay, not the one you used. Thanks!

[@Creative3DP]

its a 12v heatbed and it consumes around 144w of electricity to heat this thing up

[@accuwau]

good video, very nice editing aswell! mustve taken a long time of painful editing haha

[@Creative3DP]

Designing and building is fun but man editing is really really painful. Thanks you for recognized that

[@accuwau]

@@Creative3DP of course! i know the pain lol

[@vim55k]

I would like to dry Nylon and PC, something like 90c is needed

[@Creative3DP]

sure, Probably you can use for that as you can heat the heat bed upto 110 degree celcius

[@gj4769]

Nice video bro , very informative, I found some hdpe and pp filament online would you want to test it ?

[@Creative3DP]

Thanks, sure I'll look into it

[@gj4769]

@@Creative3DP it's called hdpe welding rod or pp welding rod , single roll of filament cost about 750 but in bulk it cost around 250 . If you are able to produce prints from these filament it will be a great success in 3d printing 👍

[@Creative3DP]

sure, Let me Look into this, they seems very new to me but the main problem which these wires are tangle and inconsistent diameter

[@gj4769]

@@Creative3DP I don't think this will be a problem as the , these welding rods are of 3 mm

[@Creative3DP]

are they not available in 1.7mm diameter
