wisedry Silica Gel Beads Reusable - 2.2KG [5 LBS] Color Indicating Rechargeable Desiccant Bulk with 10pcs Organza Drawstring Bags

Purchased these for my 3D printer as I noticed the humidity in the AMS was reading as wet. I was recommended these and gave them a go. Once setting it all up and pouring the beads into pods that fit into the AMS, waiting a day then checking, I noticed the humidity dropped from 50% down to 10% and the AMS now reads as dry, so these work extremely well. Not had a chance to recharge them yet, but I've prepared by printing a drying tray for when they need it. Brilliant product, will use again.

I purchased this rechargeable desiccant tub for £17, and it's been a fantastic addition to my Bambu Lab AMS setup. The ability to recharge makes it much more convenient and cost-effective than disposable options. I even printed custom cases for the silica, and one 2LBS tub is more than sufficient for all of them, with plenty to spare. Pros: ✅ Rechargeable, eliminating the need for disposable desiccants ✅ Easy to see when the silica needs drying out ✅ Ample quantity; one tub covers multiple cases with extra left over ✅ Perfect for use with Bambu Lab AMS ✅ Arrived the next day with Prime delivery Cons: ❌ None that I've encountered Considering that similar products can be priced higher, the £17 I paid seems reasonable for the quality and quantity provided. Overall, a solid investment for anyone looking to maintain optimal conditions for their 3D printing materials.

Fantastic for keeping my filament dry in my CFS units and helping to keep it dry in my storage bags. Really good stuff and good value for money. It can be recharged so don’t be fooled by a smaller tub of it it goes a very long way

I bought these to use inside my Bambu Labs AMS system in order to help dry out filaments when stored and in use. I have a humidity sensor that I have placed inside the AMS which is hooked up to a HA console so I can read the output. My measurements before adding this in was around 40% humidity. After printing containers and placing a fair amount of this inside, my measurements got as low as 18% after a couple of days. I've used a fair amount of this now and have had to "recharge" the desiccant a couple of times. First I will say that the desiccant does change colour and does reset back to it's original state when heated in the microwave. Not only does the colour change but you can see the moisture leaving through the amount of steam produced. Due to the amount of steam and how hot the desiccant does get during this period I did tend to ignore the instructions that say to leave it in the microwave for something like 8 minutes and instead do it in bursts of 1-2 minutes. I would also recommend using a glass dish or something that can withstand high temperatures as I did try using a plastic container on a small amount and the desiccant did end up melted into the container. Overall would definitely recommend and have even given some to a friend for the same purpose as I have used it and they have had similar results.

Does the job

Wisedry reusable silica gel beads are perfect for keeping 3D printer filament dry. They come with small bags for easy storage and can be recharged for long-term use. Review: The Wisedry silica gel beads have been a fantastic solution for keeping my 3D printer filament dry. Moisture can easily ruin filament quality, but with these beads, I don’t have to worry about that. They come with small, convenient bags, making it easy to place them inside storage containers or filament boxes. Best of all, they’re reusable — just recharge them when they’re full of moisture, and they’re ready to go again. This product offers great value and peace of mind, ensuring my filament stays in perfect condition for smooth, reliable prints.

After weeks of failed 3D prints and frustration, these Wisedry Silica Gel Desiccant Beads saved the day! We 3D printed little baskets to place them inside our Elegoo printer with the filament, and it was a game-changer. The beads turn from orange to green when they’ve absorbed enough moisture, so you know exactly when it’s time to recharge them. Just pop them in the oven at around 120°C, and they’re good as new, back to their orange, moisture-absorbing selves! Aside from rescuing my 3D printing projects, these beads are super versatile. You can use them to keep things dry in camera bags, toolboxes, or even storage bins for clothes or documents. They’re reusable and a total lifesaver for anyone needing to keep moisture at bay. Highly recommend for any 3D printer owner, or anyone wanting to keep their gear dry and safe from moisture!

I’m pleased with this silica gel, especially the convenience of the colour change and being able to dehydrate them quickly for reuse. Good quality and value for money.

Utilisé pour garder mes bobine de filaments 3D au sec ce desiccant est parfaitement fonctionnel. Je confirme qu'il change bien de couleur une fois humide même si toutes les perles ne sont pas colorées c'est assez visible. Je n'ai pas eu de problème pour les déshydrater à nouveau.

ممتاز

Excellent stuff. Put it into the desiccant boxes in the AMS and within an hour the internal humidity dropped from 26% down to 6%.

Perle di gel di silice molto efficaci e durature. L’indicatore di colore è pratico per capire quando rigenerarle. Ottimo il set con sacchetti in organza, perfetto per armadi, cassette o dispositivi elettronici.

These colour change to indicate refreshment needed. Good stuff.
