Comment on Need help finding a large dehydrator

Not sure how feasible it is for you, but you could always build your own enclosure out of plexiglass or acrylic and then slap a dehumidifier inside of it. This has the benefit of allowing you to scale the size so you can fit as many rolls inside as you want. Adam Savage built one for his AnyCubic printer on his YouTube channel using a homemade cabinet and some electrical conduit to hold the round spools.

We have access to a decent amount of tools at the lab, it’s definitely feasible. We tossed around the idea, and honestly I may prefer that to a food dehydrator as all of the dehydrators I’ve seen have a cut off timer whereas the filament dryers we have can be run indefinitely.
I’ll have to pitch that to my boss and see what he thinks. I’ve seen some people convert some water proof/resistant totes from Target to become filament dryers.

Here’s the video of him building it if you want some inspiration. youtu.be/taeS72yO__k?si=VQUCC14V_OLR4ENH
