OctoPrint-FilamentDryer

Description

Most 3d printing filaments will absorb water from the surrounding area, by heating the filament for a prolonged period, most (or all) of that water can be removed.

This plugin uses your 3d printer's heated bed and/or chamber to heat the build volume for as long as needed.

Note: Your 3d printer must have a heated bed or chamber and should have a full enclosure.

Setup
