Yeah. If you can get a compressor type dehumidifier to work, that would be great. I agree with you, I would like to get to what my AMS units are… 10-15%. I just haven’t found a compressor style dehumidifier small enough. I guess you could great a duct from the filament box to the front of the dehumidifier, if you think you can make it air tight.
Thanks. It was just a USB LED adhesive strip. I had one lying around. 😁
I had the same issue with mine. It took about 2-3 days to lower the humidity significantly lower than the outside humidity.
I’m using a Peltier style dehumidifier (surprisingly not that great for getting humidity below 40) and sta-dry desiccant system to get the humidity down to 30
I think if you have those desiccant pack and (this is important) a great airtight seal, you should be fine. I couldn’t find a non-peltier dehumidifier smaller than my actual enclosure. 🤣 so I’m not sure we have many options. My enclosure isn’t air tight by any means, but just do your best.
Yeah. Guess where I got the idea from as well 🤣 The peltier dehumidifier seems like it would be better for bringing the humidity from 100 to like 50. And not what we need it for, which is like from 50 to 10. I think these may be the best thing that’s keeping my humidity down.

I built an enclosure, I added a dehumidifier (it’s a small Peltier style which I’m not in love with), and some rechargeable desiccant packs. Used plexiglass for the sliding doors and printed my own tracks. Works great! Inside humidity stays around 30-35% while outside will get up to 100%
I use it all the time. Works great. Like others have said, apply it in thin coats until you achieve the “hammered” look that you’re going for. I apply it directly to PLA. So you can do that or do a primer first. I haven’t seen a difference.
I think all you would need to do is a some vent holes on the other side of the AMS adapter. My filament dryer utilizes the same technique. Input hot air and exhaust hot/moist air.
I know. I was too excited and typing too fast. And it was a text message, so I couldn’t edit it. 🤦♂️
Ahh. Yup. I forgot the name of that subreddit. But I had thought this sub might appreciate it. Thanks!
That’s exactly what I do. These damn printers are very reliable compared to my ender 3 and 5. So while I’ve stocked up on some spare parts, I’ve very rarely used them. Which I’m MORE than ok with. You know that they say… if you have it, you won’t need it, but if you don’t have it, you’ll need it. 😁
DM me your email address and I’ll send it to you. I think that’s probably the easiest way.
Yes. I tried my best to seal the edges using some window weather strip/seal. It’s adhesive on one side. Its spongy enough to make a descent seal
I used a router to make the top slider part, but that was only because I was impatient and didn’t want to wait to print another slider section for the bottom. 😬 I made the bottom slider section in tinkercad and can share the stl with you if you’d like (just DM me). I made it like 3.5 feet long and then just cut it with a dovetail in Bambu so that you can stack as many as you need to depending on how long your cabinet is.
Only 28C. come summer time it will get up to 32C. Not sure I can get it 50c without adding a heater.
I also just read that Adam inspired your box... Same with me! hahaha
Please keep me posted. I'm curious to see how well your dehumidifier works.
Thank you for the info. It was all in bags, and it was a hot mess to organize. I was hoping for something a little more organized.
Sounds like a need a non-Peltier humidifier.

It’s honestly not that hard. You should give it a try. You can always paint over it and try again or print another one.
