Has anybody used one of these mini “dehumidifiers” to dry out filament as a substitute for buying a bunch of the desiccant beads? My filament seems OK, but I could do better to keep it dry.

    Personally I use a food dehydrator for drying my filament and use dehydrating beads for storage

    The ones I got have instructions for baking to get them to be dehydrated again

    Just be sure that if you go that route you don’t get the indicating ones as they can be pretty gnarly health wise

    I use a hygrometer in the storage container to check the humidity. Once it gets above 20% @ 75F I dehydrate them again
