This is for decreasing the humidity in the AMS of Bambu X1C printers. A drawback is that it takes up one of the four slots in the AMS, but it can contain a ton of dessicant so it will keep your AMS very dry. 

Once printed, the perforated part gets glued (e.g. with epoxy) to the flat side wall of a Bambu spool and specifically the side so that when you unlock the spool to remove one side, you still have most of the center cylindrical core still present. This is so that you can poor in dessicant from the side. We recommend using indicating dessicant (turns from blue to pink when it contains water) which can be reused by baking out the water. We used this dessicant: https://www.amazon.ca/Premium-Indicating-Silica-Industry-Standard/dp/B013L31PQ0

We printed this in a Prusa Mk3s+ with PETG, a 0.2mm layer height, and a brim.
