Hi all,

I’m doing an experiment with a cabinet for filament with a small dehumidifier in it. I can get it to sit at 35%, but not much lower. I’ve sealed the cabinet with foam tape, and dried most of the filament first.

Are there any tricks to help improve performance of the mini dehumidifier? Maybe adding more heat to the cabinet?

The goal would be to use Home Assistant and the humidity sensor to turn things on and off as needed.

Thanks!

    I’ve done a similar thing using IKEA Samla Box (fits 6 rolls). With a few boxes of silica gel (dried periodically in my filament dryer) I can get it to stay relatively dry for a few weeks (goes from ~15 to ~25% in a few weeks).
