Community-Tested Gear & Supplies

3D Print Bed Removal Tools

  • Product Link: Amazon - 3D Print Removal Spatula & Tool Set
  • Maker Notes: One of the most effective and safe toolsets for releasing prints from textured and smooth PEI build plates without gouging the coating. The flexible thin spatula edge slides under brim edges easily.

Filament Storage Dry Boxes

  • Product Link: Amazon - Airtight Filament Storage Boxes
  • Maker Notes: Heavy-duty, airtight storage containers for keeping moisture-sensitive filaments (PETG, TPU, PLA+, Nylon) dry. Easily modified with pneumatic fittings for direct reverse-Bowden feeding.

Color-Changing Reusable Desiccant

  • Product Link: Amazon - Reusable Color-Indicating Silica Gel Desiccant
  • Maker Notes: High-capacity beads that change color (purple/pink) when saturated, indicating when they need to be recharged in an oven or microwave.
  • Meetup Tip: If you do not need a full multi-pound jug, talk to us at the monthly meetup to pick up a smaller portion.
