This is a ventilated silica gel box designed to improve moisture absorption inside your HDRY setup.

The video centers on the testing and development of V1. However, we have also created and published V2.
Important Update: Since publication of the video, we have seen incredible success (10% humidity) using V1 + molecular sieves instead of desiccant. Feel free to test whichever version and combination you would like.
The fan forces air through the silica gel, increasing efficiency and helping the desiccant absorb humidity much faster compared to passive systems.
Drying & Reuse
If you print the parts in ASA or other heat-resistant materials, you can easily:
Remove the silica basket
Place it directly in the oven to dry the silica gel
Put it back into the system after regeneration
This makes the system reusable and very convenient for long-term use.
