Finished the desiccant containers and now filled. Temperature of 30C and 10% RH inside the AMS. Since I printed them in Grey they kind of look like they belong.

You 3D printed that dessicant container? They have translucent filaments!!!! ???
It’s the little rectangular boxes
Crap. I darn near pissed myself.
? What little rectangular boxes?
Is that bigger translucent storage box also a Dehumidifier?
No, that’s the Automatic Material System or AMS. It’s the thing that allows for automatic colour changes or filament swaps.
So it has a humidity sensor? JD quoted an RH of 10% at 30C.
Just trying to get a handle on overall cost.

Probably like these. I put a bunch in filament storage boxes to monitor the RH as well.
Color changing desiccant is the bomb as well.
He printed those containers to hold desiccant beads. The model includes a spot for an inexpensive hydrometer as @Doggggboy linked to.
These are what I bought. They have tabs that are at 11-5 so the box that has slots at 11-5 needs to be the one that gets printed.
Oh and this is the desiccant

Actually the desiccant is supposed to turn dark green when it's saturated. Clear (pseudo clear) would have been interesting to see if the colour changes.
pictures or it does not exist. :>It does have an ams.
And the bed does go up and down and all around
It’s an Anycubic Kobra S1
So basically, you have to use a dessicant. It doesn't have a Dehumidifier built in.
I have some colour changing dessicant I use in my boomstick safe. It comes in a container that you just plug into the wall till its recharged.
Looks a lot like this. Might be useful to you 3DP pros.
I thought so. Figured yours would be sitting on an open space of concrete in your shop.For the record... that is not my printer

Oh it does, I bought several of those same containers of desiccant.
For fun I printed one of these. Apparently designed to sit inside the hole in the reel that holds the filament. Yet another container to absorb moisture.
The build plate came with 4 sets so I removed 3 and then printed one. It required support filament for some of the holes. Not really sure why. Bad design I think. In either case I also specified a filament change at layer 69. The layer 68 was the last layer of the lid. That meant the rest of the body would be in blue and the final print would be sort of symmetrical. I think it came out 'pretty;
I would never attempt this if it weren't for the AMS. Not even sure how to tell the SOVOL slicer how to stop and request a filament change much less have it only put support filament at the transition zones.
