Assuming I can get it working, not really. Your described method would be good for occasional prints, but terrible for higher volumes. Keeping an area at a target humidity (especially a small one) is much more efficient than a constantly running device.

I remember an article a few years ago about an experimental tube system that just rapidly dehydrated segments of filament in line on the way to the printer. Was hoping to see a commercial version of something like that by now as it just sounds so efficient. This setup looks extraordinarily unefficient on the other hand. I understand your efforts for better work flow, but to heat and dehumidify this properly will be a significant energy sink.

what would be needed? an addon that that replace the pipe from the spool/ams to the extruder to have a small heater/fan to pass warm air to the filament?
doesn’t sound overly complicated or hard to make and prototype.
