AeroDry 2.0 is a fully 3D-printable modular filament dryer that keeps your spools continuously dry while feeding filament directly to your printer. Modular stackable design lets you start with 1kg and scale to 3kg or 5kg chambers.
PTC ceramic heater plus 120mm centrifugal blower fans distribute heat evenly through the entire stack. Built-in digital temperature controller and programmable timer. Live humidity sensor in every chamber.
Funded in 20 minutes on Kickstarter, backed by 684 makers. Non-printable hardware costs around $54 on AliExpress. Print the structural parts in ABS, ASA, or PETG (never PLA, it deforms at drying temps).
Stop ruining $30 spools because of humidity.
AeroDry 2.0 is a fully 3D-printable filament dryer that keeps your spools continuously dry, and feeds filament directly into your printer while drying. Modular stackable design (1kg, 3kg, 5kg) scales with your workshop. Funded in 20 minutes on Kickstarter.

How it works
01
Print the parts
Print all structural pieces in ABS or PETG. Takes about 1 weekend in background.
02
Source the BOM
Order the electronics from AliExpress using the direct links provided. ~$54 total.
03
Wire it up
Crimp connectors only. Color-matched. Follow the wiring video, 30 minutes.
04
Load a spool
Open magnetic door, place spool on the central reel. Close. Done.
05
Set temp + timer
Use the included temperature chart per filament type. Set timer. Press start.
06
Print straight from it

A note from the team
Wet filament was costing us more than the dryer would.
We were throwing away PETG spools because they had absorbed too much moisture, the prints would string and bubble. After the third $30 spool went in the bin, we built our own dryer. Then realized other makers had the same problem.
684 backers funded AeroDry 2.0 in 20 minutes. We refined the design 20 times based on their workshops. The price is roughly what they paid, not a markup, just a way to share the work.

Adam W. · Toronto★★★★★
I had three spools of PETG sitting in a Ziplock and a humidity packet for six months, hardly worked. AeroDry brought them back from 40% RH to 8% in about 4 hours. The direct-feed outlet means I never open the box during a print.

Marta K. · Warsaw★★★★★
Built the 3kg version first, then added a 5kg stack last weekend. The modular design is the highlight. My TPU prints stopped bubbling after I started using it.

Yuki H. · Osaka★★★★☆
Wiring took me an evening because I am very new to electronics, but I emailed support and got a reply with annotated photos within a few hours. Now running 24/7 with nylon and PC, no more failed prints from moisture.

Ben C. · Sydney★★★★★
Cost me about AUD$95 to source the parts locally (instead of AliExpress for shipping reasons). Still way cheaper than the commercial dryers that go for $200+. Magnetic door is a nice touch.

Sara M. · Portland★★★★★
Run a small print farm and bought the commercial license. Now I dry filament during every print run. Honestly should have built this a year ago. Saves me at least 2 spools a month from humidity ruin.

Honestly
You probably won't even need our help.
The 60-minute video shows every wire, every screw, every settings choice. The BOM has photos and direct links. Color-matched crimp connectors only. Magnetic doors so there is nothing finicky.
Most makers finish without sending us a single email. That's the goal. But if you do hit a snag, info@creative3dp.com, real human, usually same day.
Quick questions
What filaments does it dry?
PLA (45–50°C), PETG (60–65°C), ABS/ASA (70–80°C), TPU (50–60°C), Nylon (75–85°C), PC (80–90°C), PVA (50–60°C). Full temp chart included.
Why not print AeroDry parts in PLA?
PLA softens around 60°C. The structural parts experience higher temperatures during drying. Use ABS, ASA, or PETG instead.
Can I really print while drying?
Yes. Each chamber has a dedicated filament outlet with a PTFE tube. Filament feeds straight to your printer without exiting the dry chamber.
Build time?
1–2 weekends including print time. Active assembly is about 3–4 hours.
What do I own after I buy?
The files are yours forever. Print as many copies of the build as you want for personal use. Lifetime updates included.
