Which is to say, not very far on this at all but I think I have a good idea on how have my cake and eat it too for desiccant for my spools.
I am finding I can’t get the humidity below about 50% in my AMS and the silica I am using needs constant refreshing.
Well it seems there is stuff called activated alumina that is pretty good and honestly about the same costs as silica beads, but I need to be able to put it in the oven to refresh it. Which doesn’t work well with my 3d printed desiccant holders.
Insert, cheap tea strainers.
It seems I can get ones that are 4cm in width by 6cm in height that are made out of stainless steel that I can actually put straight in the oven.
So, I am working on getting the parts and items but was wondering if anyone else has done this or have any suggestions before I start grabbing stuff?
I bought one of these Micro-Dehumidifier modules earlier this year I’ve been meaning to use in a dry-box I need to finish (got busy, forgot about it). Allegedly solid results without the need for desiccant and there’s an AMS mounting solution. They’re pricey but might be something to look at.
Man I always forget the comma in Europe and when you warned me about pricey I almost had a heart attack from what I thought that cost for a second there.
That’s actually pretty cool. Probably not unreasonable for what it says it passes for flow rate too but I think I was looking for a bit lazier a hack. I am not always to be trusted cutting things open and wiring electrics.
