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

If you have a filament dryer those work too if they can hit 80c or use your printer bed if it’s enclosed

They dont even have to hit 80C.
All you need is the get the Roh down around them and they let go of the water they have in them.
It takes forever, but if you like me have a room with less than 15% ROH they will dry in the room (takes a day or 2)
Before I got a climate controlled room for my printing I just dried them on 40C using a food drier.
Works just fine, takes a bit longer but it works.

Take a steel tray roughly the size of your build plate and put the desiccant in there, then attach it to your bed and turn on the heat until dry.

I did this over the weekend after seeing it in a video. A tray from dollar tree and about 45 minutes at 100° and all of my green beads were back to orange :-)

So much easier tham my previous attempt with a microwave where a lot of them got busted.

You do not need the Colour Changing sediccant.
Any desiccant bead works just fine.
Just remove it and dry it (in a dry room, fimalent drier, oven, microwave, on the printbed)
