Description

This desiccant drying basket was created for the PolyMaker PolyDryer. It allows you to loosely dry your silica gel desiccant beads or simply place your AMS pods or spool hub desiccant holders in the basket.

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU PRINT:

PolyMaker states that the PolyDryer has 3 Power Levels:
- Level 1: ~50°C (PLA)
- Level 2: ~60°C (PETG, ABS, ASA)
- Level 3: ~70°C (PETG, ABS, ASA, PC, PA)
If you print this model in PLA do not exceed Power Level 1 on the PolyDryer.
Depending on what material you use to print this model will determine what Power Level can be used and subsequently the amount of time it will take to dry the desiccant.
Stirring/flipping the desiccant will allow it to dry faster.
The desiccant is dry when it turns from dark green to orange.

This model is not affiliated or endorsed by PolyMaker or any of it subsidiaries.

nice! I made a super simple lid just in case I tip it while removing the dessicant

Very cool, thank you for sharing! Making a lid for a version 2 is actually on my to do list as the beads tend to have a mind of their own.

I haven't seen it printed with a translucent filament, that looks really cool! What brand/color is that?

Replying to @eggheadcopilot :

A small brand from China, Aliz PETG Transparent

I managed to print this on an A1 mini with few small adjustments. Printed in generic PETG without problems. This fits into the dry box nicely and it survived 4 hours of PLA-level drying without any problems and without deforming.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! I haven't see anyone print this on the A1 Mini so that's cool to see! I also have my basket printed in PETG, I run it on level 3 and haven't had any issues.

Replying to @eggheadcopilot :

No problem at all. Also can confirm that I just tried level 2 and it survived fine. The filament is C-TECH premium line PETG. Regarding A1 mini, would you be fine with me adding a dedicated profile with A1-mini compatibility adjustments to this model?

@eggheadcopilot

Replying to @TheMarwin :

Sure, I just kindly ask that you keep the same slicer settings that I have for the full size PETG version and that it's clear in the title it's the A1 Mini version. Thanks for sharing with the community!

printed well in PetG but didn't survive, print it ASA etc folks.

I'm curious about this as I have my basket printed in Bambu PETG and run it at power level 3 and haven't had any warping. I also have measured the temperature at the dock outlet to be 70C. What brand of PETG is being used in the photo? Thank you!

@OzDruiD

Replying to @eggheadcopilot :

Sunlu PetG grey, fairly old. I will try with Polymaker or Bambu. This was a 24hr dry on 3, I took the basket out and emptied thes dry silca and basict warped a bit, so then I tried to straighten it back - and the basket mesh "torn and melted" - must have just been at the fllash point.

Very interesting, thank you for sharing that information I appreciate it!

I printed in ASA and not having an enclosure kit for my p1p it started to lift, but still works and is a really nice profile. wanted to get it in ASA for a better heat resistance and faster drying! thanks!

I printed a couple of these and I have to say that it really works well. I printed in PETG and run the PolyDryer on the level 3 setting for 6 hours. My dark greenish desiccant comes out bright orange. I think it's actually pretty well finished in less than 6 hours so I may reduce that time with further experience. I printed the lid as well, which I find helpful. I may make a new lid to improve the pouring experience. I used PrusaSlicer for my XL, and printed the bottom of the basket and the lid with 3D honeycomb at 25% infill. That seems to allow plenty of airflow while keeping the holes small enough that even broken bits of desiccant can't fall out.

@eggheadcopilot

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! Two tips to help speed up your drying time even more: leave the lid off during the drying process and mid way through stir the beads around. Looks great in the translucent filament!

@mjkobb

Replying to @eggheadcopilot :

Yes, I left the lid off the first time, then when I was trying to put it on after, I spilled a bunch of beads. 😂 I used the same infill on the lid so it has plenty of circulation. I do stir them half-way. 👍🏻 This works so well I printed another set to use in my second dryer.

Good basket. but it take too long to dry the desiccant！！

The profile uploader has replied

@eggheadcopilot

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! There are a few factors that will determine the drying time: 1. How saturated the beads are, more saturation = longer drying times. 2. How many times the beads have been recharged (dried); I don't know what the number is but there is a limit to this. 3. Stirring the beads a few time throughout the drying process will help speed it up. 4. Make sure you're using Power Level 3. 5. Don't overfill the basket as this doesn't allow the hot air to reach the beads. 6. I've also found that the PolyDryer Air Exchange mod also helps speed up drying for the beads and filament: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1176242-polydryer-air-exchanger#profileId-1607861

Looks perfect! Printed this in PolyMakers HT-PLA-GF. It should withstand 110c without annealing and 150 when annealed.
