Projeto de uma secadora de filamentos com foco em baixo custo

Abstract

This work aims to develop a low-cost filament dryer designed for 3D printer users who face print quality issues due to excessive ambient humidity. The research is particularly relevant for regions with high humidity levels, such as the Amazon, where climate conditions affect filament preservation, resulting in 3D printing failures like bubbles, fractures, and poor surface finish. The proposed dryer seeks to meet this demand by offering an affordable solution to maintain filament quality, extend its lifespan, and prevent damage caused by moisture absorption. The project focuses on using low-cost materials and technologies, ensuring economic feasibility and ease of construction. The innovation of this work lies in adapting to local needs, providing a practical, efficient, and accessible solution for the 3D printing community in the Amazon region. The developed dryer successfully removed moisture from the filaments during testing and validation.
