Specs say it will do 85C. That's enough to dry neat nylon..... But not cheap.

Hi Susquatch, Guys,
Off the top of my head thoughts.
I have a Peltier device that will easily do 100C or minus 20C, actually both at the same time ! Depending upon voltage or current limiting to control the temperatures. It is relatively small about 50 mm by 50 mm and about 7 or 8 mm thick.
A suitable fan and a heatsink/radiator with air blown across it could be used to heat or cool an enclosure. Could this be useful for drying filament ?
The cold side easily freezes water out of the air whilst the hot side rapidly gets too hot to hold.

Dang, I didnt read the fine print. I just assumed I didint have to feed, I could just dry + store or dry + remount. Its back to one of the other brands.
For better or worse I ordered the Pi V2 $89 on Amazon. I suspect a minefield of sketchy units overall but it checks most of my boxes. Mostly positive reviews other thna the fan bearing can crap out at some point but I confirmed a replacement fan can be purchased off Amazon. Surely it will be an improvment over what I'm doing now. Even an otherise good looking PLA print at 50-60% humidity is wealer than using dry/conditioned filament so I can get behind that. I have resisted other (non-PLA) materials partly out of lack of need but recognizing moisture is urely going to be a bigger issue.
I am one guy who will be waiting for your reviews and comments. Please don't be shy!
And thanks for the confirming the unsuitability of the Bambu AMS HT. I missed some of that too.
