This is a kit for converting the Chinese vegetable dehydrator KITFORT-1917 (also known as Wartmann WM-2006 DH and may be smth else) into a filament dryer. It dries up to 90 degrees, heats up quickly, and can print with two (optimal) or even three filament spools.
Materials needed:
- 8 bearings 608-2RS (size - 8x22x7)
- 8mm x 86mm aluminum tube (threaded rod will also work).
- 3M tape (any tape will do, but it's better if it can withstand temperatures up to 100 degrees).
- Good to have 2xPC4-M5 fittings to connect PTFE tubes.
Assembly:
- Print the parts as shown in the image using heat-resistant plastic such as ABS or ASA. No supports are needed.
- Unscrew the two front legs, remove the grid fastening, and take out the grids.
- Lay the dehydrator on its side so that the door opens downward.
- Screw the two printed extended legs and the front high fastening into the existing holes from the grids (the letter L on the part should be on the left).
- At a distance of 9 cm from the front fastening, attach the rear low fastening with double-sided tape.
- Install two plastic filament spool holders on the upper panel, or better use 2xPC4-M5 instead.
- Stick the rear two legs with tape.
- Install 4 tubes with bearings.
Optional:
9. Print and install top tray that can be used to dry silica gel containers/bags. Back side can be inserted into dryer fence, top side must be screwed into two drilled holes.
