Dry & Dry 1 Quart Blue Replacement Desiccant Indicating Silica Gel Beads - 2 LBS Reusable by

Perfect for every use

Works well as a desiccant for 3D printing filament. I use these beads in an active filament dehydrator with heater, and in a passive sealed bin. With these beads, I very rarely need to power on the dehydrator, which reports humidity around 20% for extended periods of time (months).

The blue desiccant silica gel beads work well to keep things dry. The very distinct color change is very helpful in determining when to re-dry the beads. I mainly use the blue desiccant in my AMS, and I've found I can go a long time before having to dry the beads. The bead size is perfect, with very few small particles that may slip through the desiccant screens or bags. I have completed three dry cycles on this batch already, and the beads are holding up nicely, so durability is not a concern. The bottle makes pouring easy, but I found that pairing it with a 3D-printed screw in a funnel improves the experience and minimizes spillage. There are concerns about the chemical used in the blue desiccant indicating silica gel beads, but I don't handle them often, and the particle size is large enough and heavy enough to not be an airborne concern.

Muy buen producto, calidad por encima de otros que he probado, pero precio desorbitado, almenos en el momento de mi compra alrededor de 80€ + aduanas... Esto no quita que el producto es muy bueno pero considero que a ese precio está sobrevalorado. Si lo consigues más barato es un 10/10.

What can you say about desiccant..It does what It was supposed to, I had expected the container to be larger by the image, but still the product seems to do its job well, my filament is drying out nicely.
