How Does a Filament Dryer Work?

It works by heating the filament to a temperature that will remove the moisture it might have absorbed.

The fan in the box helps circulate the heat so that every part of the filament is heated appropriately.

Building one is a relatively simple process and can be done with minimal tools and materials.

The heater will warm the air inside the box, and the fan will circulate it.

The display is for checking the temperature.
