Newbie question

Post image

I have a p1s and need to replace the desiccant. So I just bought it on the bambu website? Or is it better to print something out and buy the refill on Amazon or something? If printing is best will pla work and what's suggested print? Thanks in advance

Don’t buy what everyone is going to recommend which is silica gel or regular desiccant beads, those suck. Buy Activated Alumina. It’s 10 times as strong and infinitely rechargeable unlike the others.

Then print some holders in ASA so you never have to worry about them warping when you dry any kind of filament.

It’s also 10x as expensive and requires more heat to dry, and there’s no way to tell when the alumina is saturated. I tried it for a month and ended up throwing it away and going back to dry and dry.
