@Shauki humidity control system fully functional!

I’ve created an insulated drying chamber that is controllable via potentiometer. I’ve found that 40C with the door open is about right to bring the RH down to 20%. When I’m ready to print I move the dried nylon into a second humidity controlled chamber above my printer from which I print.

@Shauki I’m not sure the minimum time, but 10 hours worked.

You’re not doing it right. My system is only 100W. I’ve insulated the chamber. @Shauki

100W x 10hrs = 1kWh x .16 = .16 euro

that is a thing of beauty.
