VERTICAL DRYER MOUNT
Garbiel C. Not only submitted a fantastic mount design but also had some great things to say about his IFD-175R.
“I operate my Ender 3 V2 in my garage. I currently don’t have an enclosure and it resides on a workbench out in the open environment subject to outdoor weather. I live in Los Angeles near the beach and it is always moist here. I run my machine almost 24 hours a day and the spool of material stays on top of the machine until the material is completely consumed. I had issues with gaps, pockmarks, stringing and layer adhesion. You could hear the popping and sizzle clearly during a print. With all things in my setup being the same, this has seemingly eliminated all those issues and left me with a clean part on my most troublesome component, on the very first print! I’m impressed. My point of view has always been that this was not intended to be a miracle cure for bucket soaked filament, it is a method of assuring well respected material is consistently dry when it enters the extruder. It appears to do that flawlessly. Bingo.”
