As soon as I got my PolyDryer, I wondered if it was worth attaching to my AMS. I started working on it but things came up so here we are 3 months later and it is finally complete. So far, so good. I have been watching my humidity levels keep falling. I do have desiccant boxes in my AMS also. When I first started to run the Polydryer on the AMS, I was at 30% humidity. I could've dried my desiccant first but I wanted to see what would happen. Currently at 15% and dropping. Bambu Studio showed my Current Cabin Humidity at a 5, but it has now dropped to a 1. (I've never seen a 1 before, only ever a 2.) I still have to design a couple arms to lock the PolyDryer to the Mount, but I haven't done that yet because I will probably just keep removing the dryer anytime I change filament anyway. But I did build in a couple notches for the arms, just in case. And of course, I printed it in PolyLite PETG Cyan to match the color on the PolyDryer. https://amzn.to/3AgM2Vl

 

I designed gaskets to be printed in a soft TPU for in between the AMS and the Mount, one for between the mount and the Polydryer (may not be necessary) and some quick washers for whatever m5 bolts you decide to use. I used these bolts: https://amzn.to/3SCGn2c to get a good grip with little depth, and I lined up the bolt holes in-between the spools to make sure they didn't hit the edges of the spools. In addition to the bolts, you will also need 4 threaded inserts. I used some m5 inserts that were 7mm wide x 8mm deep. I used this kit: https://amzn.to/3yjaJ2X.

 

When not in use, I plan to use the caps that came with the PolyDryer to plug the holes in the AMS, or I also printed the ones that AJAX3D made. https://makerworld.com/en/models/459342#profileId-367553 No need for me to redesign those.

 

Thanks for checking out the project!
