Polymaker
4.4
(21)
"Polymaker PolyDryer. It only fits 1 spool but it is perfect."
"I recently consolidated my homemade dry boxes with the drying solution by moving to Polymaker’s PolyDryers. I’ve got 2 dryers and maybe 10 boxes. Not cheap, but they work super well!"

"I use the polymaker as well for stand-alone spools, but if you have an AMS consider the Python upgrade with a couple of the polymaker driers. I LOVE my Python AMS as everything is always dry!"
