Using wife’s food dehydrator to dry my filament, will be interesting to see how well it work. 
Let us know.
What temperature does it work at?
I will, it works up to 68C (155F) but I set it to 65C for no scientific reason.
I have to oven-cook mine next week, speaking of.
Very curious to hear more. I have about 75 spools now and some are not in amazing shape.
I’m curious if the next batch of dehydrated food is going to be lego flavored.
I prefer 5 gallons buckets, omega lids and Eva dry as both storage and dehumidifiers. Working handsomely.
Killer! I’m in Florida, so very interested in how well this works!
@Chad_Louis I don’t think that so, there was no smell at all from the plastic while drying and lego is made of ABS, this is nylon 
It seems to have worked fine, I got a lot of popping while extruding the nylon before. Now it extrudes smoothly like it did when it was new. Dried it for 16h in total. (let it dry overnight)
@Allready_Gone1 Hehe, it was actually the wife’s idea, I wouldn’t have dared otherwise. 
@Jean-Francois_Talbot That looks good, haven’t seen those here in Sweden. I originally had a box with desiccant and a spoolmount inside and ran the filament through a tube up to the extruder directly from the box.
It worked ok but as I got more filaments it was to much of a hassle when swapping. I haven’t found a good way to store my filament yet but I’ll check if they have something close to what you use here. Airtight with desiccant should be a good way to go.
You can dry nylon at 80-85C with no issues. 4-6 hours is adequate for 1lb at 180F.
Keep in mind that it’s best to not dry the filament more than a couple of times unless you use a vacuum oven. Thermal cycling will negatively affect its mechanical properties.
Also, at ~50% relative humidity, nylon is fully saturated in approximately 24 hours, so you definitely want to keep it sealed up once dried.
It’s amazing stuff to print with when it’s properly dried. Buttery smooth and crazy strong.
@Taylor_Landry1 yep, I intend to keep it sealed up between prints. It’s really strong but I have some problems with delamination. I do have a vacuum pump in the basement. Could probably set up a rig for drying filament.
If it is delamming, I’d guess you aren’t printing hot enough. What’s your extrusion temp? Nozzle size? Layer height?
@Taylor_Landry1 250/0.4/0.1 It’s not delamination while printing but the part strength in layer direction is really bad. I can easily snap apart a piece with about a square cm cross section with my fingers
Right. Couple things to try. 1) bump up to 255-265c. 2) print .25-.30mm layers
Interlayer adhesion is directly proportional to trace width. You can get incredibly strong nylon parts with .6+mm nozzles.
Also, printing <.20mm layer heights doesn’t yield very strong parts
@Taylor_Landry1 That could be it, I normally print at 0.2 but this part requires the resolution.
Now that’s is interesting
