I wanted to place this filament dryer I got myself recently directly above my printer. So I designed and printed this shelf. It prints in parts to get as strong as possible and can be assembled using M3 screws. If you are interested, files are available here for free:

I knew there were filament dryers, but having one that is a direct feed in to the printer is quite neat! Thank you for turning me on to this.
My pleasure :)
That’s a damned good idea. I’m going to print that. I’ve been trying to figure out how to put my filament above my printer so I can ditch the tube.
Excuse my lack of knowledge, I do not yet have a 3D Printer, but why do you need a filament dryer? Does the filament ship with residue from the manufacturing process that needs to be washed off?
Here is an example of the difference between dried and not dried filament:
Filaments absorb moisture in humid environments, and it impacts print quality.
I read it as filament destroyer lmaooo
Hmm… I doubt that such a device would sell well :D
I need one of these bad… just checked my system it’s 75% humidity in my house…
My printer has its place in our dining room (I know not perfect…). It’s next to our kitchen, so humidity also was a problem. Now I can’t complain.
oh man i never even through about making a nozzle like that to guide the filament through nicer.
You mean the one on the dryer where the filament comes out? Actually that one came with the printer
Added a filament guide:
How do you dry the shelf though? 🤔
Why should I dry the shelf? Am I missing the joke here?
I was just trying to make a stupid who-watches-the-watchmen joke. Apologies. 😅
Ah okay, then I was just too dumb to understand :D
Actually… I used the dryer on a table to dry the shelf‘s PETG before the print. Just wasn’t able to use its direct feed function at this point :)
