Due to the AMS being populated with rolls of filament and in high humid areas the desiccant gets saturated with moisture fairly quickly have been looking at modding the AMS to be function as a filament dryer versus a limited dry box. I took my food dehydrator apart to look at the heater, fan and electronic controls, it would be reasonable easy to make a casing for the dehydrator components to fit into a printed housing that can be fitted to the side of the AMS unit with a couple of mods. The only concern I have is would the dehydrator fan and heater have enough capacity to dry 4 rolls of filament in the AMS? What would be the best place to fit the modified drying unit to the AMS? Where would the ideal place be to make vent holes on the AMS to expel the air and moisture? If any of you have a better solution or a different proposal I would love to see your solutions or suggestions. I am sur this can make the P1P and the X1C a more complete unit with the AMS fitted to either printer.
Here you go

thanks Organics will have look.
If you are intersted there are a plethera of new models that do this and have a screen (using a creality Pi Plus)
If I lived in jungle conditions, which Iowa isn’t far off, I would modify this to pump the dry air through the unit, perhaps put together an enclosure for the entire printer and AMS units.
Though I grew up being a big fan of the Tool Time segment on Home Improvement.
