Taulman spool holder heater/dryer box
Description
Taulman Nylons Are Amazingly Strong But Are Very Hygroscopic. When Printing Large Objects That Take More Than A Day To Print, The Filament Can Absorb Enough Moisture From The Air (Despite Copious Amounts Of Desiccant Inside A Nearly Airtight Enclosure) To Significantly Degrade And Weaken Your Print Due To The Moisture Being Driven Off At The Extruder Nozzle. If You Can Hear Very Light Snapping / Popping Noises At The Extruder Nozzle While Extruding There Is Too Much Moisture In The Filament...Even Fresh Filament From Taulman, Despite Being Vacuum Packed With Desiccant Often Has Too Much Moisture In It To Print Cleanly. To Solve This Problem I Created A Heated Enclosure To Keep The Filament Dry. I Also Added A Pointer To The Spindle To Give A Visual Indication That The Filament Is Feeding Into The Printer.
