DryBox dryController

Version 0.49

Requirements

Description

Controller for an active heated and ventilated Filament DryBox. The Dryer contains a PTC Heater and a Fan for fresh dry air.

With one Heater, the box may barely reaches 55 degree. As max i reached 57 degree. I recommend not to go over 52-53 degree. If you need higher temperatures, install a second heater. The MosFet switch will manage this. But you also need a stronger power supply (12V, 8-10A). A simple improvement is insulating the walls inside. I used a car sun protect shield, with reflection and insulating. This improves the performance of the box sigifignant. The warm up is much faster and also eaysier to to reach 55 degrees.

Recommended drying temperatures

  • PLA, PLA+ : 40-45 degree
  • ABS, ABS+, PETG : 45-50 degree
  • PVA,PVB, ASA, TPU, PMMA : 50-55 degree
