DIY Filament Dehydrator

I decided to build a filament drying machine. Not because I need, but because I can.

The principle of operation is, the heating element glued to the bottom of the pot, connected to the temperature controller, which controls the constant temperature.

I turned on the device at 65 degrees (the temperature in the pot increased to about 50 degrees) for two hours. You can see that the amount of moisture measured is very low, occasionally there is a slight increase in the amount of moisture, probably from the moisture released from the filament.

I chose to use a 24 cm diameter pot so that the filament roll could fit in. I also chose an aluminum pot, because it is easiest to drill.

It is recommended to use a 12V power supply with at least 20% more power supply than the heating bed.
