The phase of filament drying is critical yet frequently neglected in 3D printing. The presence of moisture in the filament can cause problems with the print’s quality, including bubbles, distortions, ...

I wanted to see if I could build my own filament dryer using a simple 4l food container, a heater, and some electronics powered by a NodeMCU that I programmed myself. In this video I walk you through ...

There has been a lot of activity from [Richard Horne] regarding 3D printing filaments lately; most recently he has shared two useful designs for upping one’s filament storage and monitoring game. The ...

It seems a simple enough concept: as a 3D printer consumes filament, the spool becomes lighter. If you weighed an empty spool, and subtracted that from the weight of the in-use spool, you’d know how ...

Like most 3D printing enthusiasts, I started out thinking that a filament dryer was a must-have accessory. Humidity can ruin a spool faster than you'd expect, and I've seen firsthand how wet filament ...
