Which is to say, not very far on this at all but I think I have a good idea on how have my cake and eat it too for desiccant for my spools.

I am finding I can’t get the humidity below about 50% in my AMS and the silica I am using needs constant refreshing.

Well it seems there is stuff called activated alumina that is pretty good and honestly about the same costs as silica beads, but I need to be able to put it in the oven to refresh it. Which doesn’t work well with my 3d printed desiccant holders.

Insert, cheap tea strainers.
It seems I can get ones that are 4cm in width by 6cm in height that are made out of stainless steel that I can actually put straight in the oven.

So, I am working on getting the parts and items but was wondering if anyone else has done this or have any suggestions before I start grabbing stuff?

    Man I always forget the comma in Europe and when you warned me about pricey I almost had a heart attack from what I thought that cost for a second there.

    That’s actually pretty cool. Probably not unreasonable for what it says it passes for flow rate too but I think I was looking for a bit lazier a hack. I am not always to be trusted cutting things open and wiring electrics.
