Finally - after 5 attempts - here it is

the DryBuddy

 

The DryBuddy is an addon for the Mooser / Ultimate Raiser, which enables drying filament while printing. The DryBuddy can also be used with other raisers / risers BUT be aware that you need a minimum height of approx. 7.5cm! Otherwise the PFTE tube of the print head will may collide with an inserted spool.

 

 

Using the DryBuddy is easy. You just need to insert a spool and of course → print. While printing the heat inside the chamber rises while the humidity decreases. During longer prints just add a spool to the DryBuddy and use the synergy to get it dry.

 

 

The print of the DryBuddy is quite easy. Also the supports can be removed very easy. Besides the print you need 8x M2 screws & 4 tension springs 5x15mm.

 

 

It is assembled in the following way (scroll down for pictures):

 

  • remove the supports
  • screw the springs to the plate
  • insert the plate
  • screw the other side of the springs to the spool holder
  • you're done

The Buddy is used in the following way (scroll down for pictures)

 

  • insert the DryBuddy to your riser
  • close the glass lid
  • insert a spool and check the height!!!
  • secure the spool with the spring mechanism
  • print & dry :)

Cool idea! I like the efficiency of it. I live in the NW USA so I don't have a lot of humidity problems. Maybe this could branch into a 5kg spool holder for dedicated printers.

thank you very much :) hmmm I think the height of 5kg spools is too much. also the mechanism with the springs wouldn't take that weight for a long time. I think I would need to make another bigger raiser and a bigger drybuddy. making a bigger raiser may also has some impact to the air conditions within the printer.

Hi Basti, Wow, that looks really good. Now I need a spacer for my lovely Raser Lite. Greetings Alex

Hi Alex, thx :) Hehe - I can try to make a smaller version / print profile. I added 5mm to the bottom which are not mandatory but make it easier to slide down. You can try it with the Lite version and check out the space between the print head and the spool. It should work but the PFTE tube will may hit the spool during printing. BR, B@sti
