Description
Minimalist plug for filament dryers or PFTE tubing. Requires about 0.75 grams of filament which is about $0.02. I have provided files that work for Eibos and most other dryers. The fc3d file is included and you can tweak as necessary. The OD file is for a plug that represents the outside diameter of the PFTE tubing which is what you would use for a dryer. The ID file is if you want a plug to fit inside PFTE tubing.
If you use the STL files make sure you use a brim.
I don't suggest using PLA, drying filaments can require high temperatures, PETG or PC should be used depending on the maximum temperature you use to dry filament. Remember deformation happens at a much lower temperature than the glass/print temperature.
