Filament Dryer for FDM 3D Printing

The paper addresses the issue of efficient use of materials for FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printing. The paper discusses the property of filament wettability, the adverse effects on 3D printing applications as well as the mechanical properties of the prints themselves and a proposed solution to the problem. It includes a description of the most common shortcomings of commercial dryboxes and the presentation of custom ideas that could improve their solutions and bring 3D printing users a device that would fulfill its purpose at a professional level.
