Desiccant drum/spool rotate G-code


Hello my fellow AMS and X1C enthusiasts.

As you can see in my photo, I’ve made a drum filled with desiccant and placed it at the fourth position inside the AMS. It keeps the moisture and air inside the AMS cracking dry. I tried other options as the desiccant spool inserts and the dessicant containers in-between the first stage feeders. But the big drum filled with desiccant is perfect for my solution.

I wonder now: is it possible with G-Code to force the spool roller (that is attatched to the first stage feeder) to rotate so that the drum rotates a few times? That way I maximise the moisture absorption by rolling/shaking the desiccant beads inside the drum without having to open the AMS lid and manually rotate/shake the desiccant drum.

With warm regards, Ludo Timp.

Do you have a link to the file? looks good.

Hi John. You mean the drum model? If yes I can send it to you maybe in a different way. It’s not good enough to post yet on MW. Took a bit of sanding and melting the lid snappings to get it to fit.

I’m going to bump this because I want the same and google isn’t helpful.
