I wanted to place this filament dryer I got myself recently directly above my printer. So I designed and printed this shelf. It prints in parts to get as strong as possible and can be assembled using M3 screws. If you are interested, files are available here for free:
oh man i never even through about making a nozzle like that to guide the filament through nicer.
Excuse my lack of knowledge, I do not yet have a 3D Printer, but why do you need a filament dryer? Does the filament ship with residue from the manufacturing process that needs to be washed off?
Filaments absorb moisture in humid environments, and it impacts print quality.
How do you dry the shelf though? 🤔

I knew there were filament dryers, but having one that is a direct feed in to the printer is quite neat! Thank you for turning me on to this.
