Description

Print using transparent PLA or PETG so you can take advantage of the color-changing silica beads. Slots are set at 1mm so that color-indicating, reusable silica gel beads do not fall out of the container. Amazon silica

 

It is designed to hold rectangular Digital Hygrometer LCD Monitors: purchased from Amazon.

 

It is not necessary to use supports. However, if you use your own print profile and want supports, make sure you use the setting so that the supports only print on the plate. If you try to use internal supports, they will be next to impossible to use and thus, your model will be next to useless.

 

When 3 units are installed in the AMS module with fresh silica beads, they all will initially read 10%. After a few days, the reading will increase as the silica gel starts to absorb moisture. Keep the AMS lid closed to maintain a sealed environment and thus minimize absorption of humidity from the air and it will lengthen the life of the silica beads.

 

When you slide in the lid, you have to push gently upwards so that the little 'bump' on the lid gets past the wall and securely closes the top.

I recommend that, unless you have just opened a fresh spool, before you mount your filament in the AMS, dry it out in the X1C or a stand-alone dryer. If your filament starts out ‘damp’, it will take a long time for the 3 silica pods to dry out your filament.

Your filament may have contained too much humidity.

The model has no issues that would cause you problems with bed adhesion. You don't need a raft. You need to practice printer hygiene. Wash the print bed with warm water and soap and apply glue - liquid or the glue stick. Elmer's purple glue stick is inexpensive and works well.

That hygrometer is going to read 10% because it just right next to the silica...

I have 3 in mine and they are currently reading 28% after 4 months of use. When you first install the three items filled with gel, they will initially read 10% - if the silica gel is fresh. However, within 2 days or so 3 and with the AMS is loaded with filament, the percentage will gradually increase as the silica does its thing and absorbs moisture.

not very good for me. could not get the supports free, especially the internal one, which appears to be impossible to remove. Could be my settings, and I am new with this printer

In my print profile, there are no internal supports. My profile specifies external-only 'tree' supports which are clean and easy to remove. The only way for you to have had internal supports is if you didn't use my profile and used your own settings.

Not a bad print at all, however, I could have used some supports where the bridging started as I did get some droop, and shrinkage. Overall, it's a good print, and I know what I'll do different next time.
