Probably not bad if you're ordering something anyways and want to add it on, but if you really want one of these I'd pay $15 for this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H0XFCS
333 cu ft versus 48 cu ft means spending a lot less often pulling it out of the safe to recharge.
Collecting games and systems can be a very exciting and rewarding hobby. I would start by picking a collecting goal before embarking on this journey. Here are some items to consider.
Here are some links you may find helpful.
Good luck and have fun!

No exactly ideal, depending on your region in the country. Pick him up some of these or something similar for Christmas.

M44. The original officer filled out the form wrong.
>getting a good cleaning soon though
Good. Don't try to scrub off the existing corrosion for now. Make sure it goes into storage with a good coat of gun oil.
Eventually, you would probably like to take the barreled action out of the stock to inspect the rest of the corrosion on the piece, and re-oil the underside of the action.

You have to remedy this now and find somewhere else to sleep. Strip everything out and clean with peroxide and bleach. spray it down the vents too.
That’s a good idea and make sure to get some rechargeable dehumidifiers...(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-nMMDbAPMWAB7)
Throw them in a plastic tub with this in there.

on a more serious note, you need to get Zerust capsules and put them in your toolbox/drawers. A dehumidifier (especially one with a gravity drain to outside, or a pump to drain it automatically) in the shop helps quite a bit, too.
You need to get the humidity down. Even a dessicant canister or one of the renewable dessicant canisters will help
I should’ve clarified and said “for now” regarding the size haha. Tactical guns are hard to fit but otherwise I have 8 guns on one side and 4 on the other but those are all tactical guns so they take up twice as much space.
If you need help with moisture, I use these in my safes for ammo and guns.

Since I’ve been buying them, this looks like the third gen.
I also use pistol hangers which help immensely. The ones I got were $7 for 4 at the time but are more now. They’re a great cheap way to help with organization.
Stainless can still rust, though not as early. In either case, if you take care of your guns you'll be fine. No need for stainless unless you just like the aesthetics. Clean them after trips out in the rain, fog, marsh etc to get moisture out, then store them in a dry place. If you're really worried about it get some gun socks for $5 a piece and a dehumidifier of some sort and throw them in a closet. I just bought a couple of these ones that are well reviewed. I plan on putting one in my gun closet for extra rust prevention, though I wasn't having a problem with it anyway. The others are for a poorly ventilated bathroom and backups.
$30? Fuck no. I can't afford that shit. $20 shipped.
There are lots of options, but for just getting started I suggest:
Hatchbox PLA 3D 1.75 mm. This particular one is black, but get the color(s) that suit your fancy!
I suggest this one because:
There are dozens of brands of PLA and most of them will work just fine. Feel free to experiment. I use $20/kg as my standard "this is an OK price" limit for standard PLA
Be more mindful when switching material types. PLA is forgiving, but hates heat/sun. Its also not overly strong. ABS is apparently strong, but a pain to print on these monoprice printers (requires high temps) and the fumes are toxic. Wood was fun - until it clogged my nozzle. Apparently you need a larger nozzle to print wood without clogging frequently. Whoops!
Anyways, when getting new filament:
Side note: store your filament is a dry place. 3D material tends to absorb water from overly humid air. When the filament does this, it doesn't print as well. I keep mine in air tight storage containers with one of these Renewable Dehumidifiers
if it's just humidity collecting, they do sell rechargeable dehumidifiers like this
does not need any power to absorb moisture, takes about 10-12 hours to 'renew' the absorbent material by plugging it in to a wall outlet. it uses a tiny heating element to dry out the silica gel for the next use.
The bag you link will not protect against humidity and the results mold and mildew.
A dry cabinet is a good idea, especially if you live in a humid climate. If you're in the Arizona desert, maybe not quite useful.
Dry boxes are super easy to DIY. Go to the Container Store and get an airtight box that's big enough to hold all your gear. Think giant tupperware.
Buy one of these put it in the box, keep the box closed at all times and you've got what you need.
You can get these: https://www.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-dry-E-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1485140432&sr=8-3&keywords=gun+safe+dehumidifier
Rechargeable silica gel packs. They make them for gun safes but they're awesome.
I'm at 6 but I got weatherproof tubs a rechargeable dessicants. They even have them at Costco now
For all my filament I use Sterilite gasket tubs with renewable mini dehumidifiers tossed in them. The tubs are cheap at places like Target/Walmart, quick to open/close, and keep out moisture.
Get all of the suits out of the closet, they'll all need a proper airing out. The one you'd like to wear will probably need to be dry cleaned again before you can do so. The others need more room to breathe so they won't end up musty. If you can hang them outside for a couple of hours, the sunlight and fresh air will help kill the smell.
Before you put the suits back into the closet, you'll need to give the closet a thorough cleaning. Vacuum the floor, sweep up the cobwebs in the corner, and then make a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water to wipe down the walls, poles, shelves--everything. After that, let it dry out. Then look into getting a product like damp rid or an odor eater or a renewable dehumidifier to help keep smells down.
Ignore the products below. This is what you want. https://smile.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-dry-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=everdry&qid=1572812660&sr=8-3
You just take it out, plug it into an outlet to recharge it and the stick it back in. No fuss.
I do use the small metal ones for ammo cans but they last much longer. Pain to gather them all up to recharge in the oven.
It's worthless. Why don't you use real desiccation products - they're cheap as dirt on Amazon.
I use a renewable mini dehumidifier in my sealed filament box. When the crystals get saturated you plug it into the wall and it drives out the moisture to reuse it again.
Also don't put your wet phones into rice - also worthless.
I don't, but once looked into one of these. Maybe now is a good time to get one, because of this.
as an alternative to the cat litter socks, i've found this to be well worth the $11 it falls to occasionally. it's $15 now, but usually is around $11.
I use one of these in a sealed Rubbermaid container. Seems to be working. Been using it for 4 months now and recharged it once.

If you get sick of using cat litter, here's an alternative option: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H0XFCS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Get one of these when ur desiccant is done-zo
Or just get yourself a rechargable one: https://www.amazon.ca/Eva-dry-333-Renewable-Wireless-Dehumidifer/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1525560995&sr=8-7&keywords=dessicant
Then an airtight storage container. You'll be good that way.
I dont know what your temps are.. but personally - i would not do this. I would blow out the lines/use RV antifreeze (i blew out my lines and still had issues with the toilet valve cracking). RV antifreeze worked.. I hate the smell, but a good line flush and i did not even notice it when i set it up in the spring. The batteries, i would charge them up all the way; then bring them in the house for the winter. Probably dont need to tend them, just charge up and bring in the house. Perhaps test them to see if they need fluids or a charge.
I started doing this - RV antifreeze and bringing in my batteries and i have had a MUCH better and less expensive winterize/dewinterize then previous 2 years.
Trying to keep an RV above freezing is a pain and expensive unless you have it stored indoors.
If you are worried about moisture, i use the moisture absorbers that you recharge by plugging in. I got them from costco. They really do work.

Has anyone ever purchased a renewable mini dehumidifier for their camera bag? Are they worth it?
Just one of these little renewable mini's. LINK
They're great. Leave them in until the beads change color (I check around once a week) then plug in for 18 hours to evaporate the water out. Back in the keezer it goes! Length of time it lasts really depends on how humid my basement is (I try to keep it ~60% RH) and how much I'm opening my keezer, but it's usually around a 4 weeks before needing "recharged".
I do videos for on my Hobie 16 when I'm at regattas and for fun. I'm usually camping so at night I have my GoPros charging in my tent. Even with using the anti fog tabs my videos always fogged up. The can look completely dry, but when the electronics of the GoPro warm up any bit of humidity goes right to the lense. The trick I learned is to always store my gear in a dry box with a mini dehumidifier. This was a complete game changer and I intend to modify my dry box so I can pass power into it for charging while all components that are used on the water are kept as dry as possible. The only place I store my GoPro gear is in my dry box now.
The dehumidifier I use:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H0XFCS/
The dry box I use (thinking about getting a bigger one though):
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001A1VE8A/
Video from July before I used the dry box and dehumidifier (you can see fog rings at various times):
https://youtu.be/3QQDN2frMT0
Video from November after leaving my equipment in the dry box for a few week (zero fogging even with 55 degree air temps):
https://youtu.be/sSXyEzIKU4c
Laptop to free up space on the SD cards is a great call, but I would recommend having additional SD cards so you don't have to wait 20 to 30 minutes for a full SD card to download to your laptop if you want to make a quick swap.
For being out on the water I would never trust the jaws or suction cup. For doing video on big boats I use this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0062U2M4E/ with some adapters to get it to GoPro mounting system. There are also GoPro handel bar mounts that I would put around various poles on the boat.
For on my H16 I use these adapters that I have permanently riveted to a couple places on my boat. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005YVTK42/
No matter what kind of attachment I use I also do a safety line with some high strength kite string.
Oh, and the expanded batter packs are a must. They can fill up most of a 64gb card on one charge.
And don't skimp on the quality of your SD cards. GoPros write a lot of data quickly and the cheep ones can't keep up and will ruin your video...or just give up trying.
Having just built one based on a design a local maker was using at a demo, it's not exactly a lot of time, or money. I got one of these at the local department store for $15:
New and Improved Eva-dry E-333 Renewable Mini Dehumidifier https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_JrTHAVxFlcbzq
And a bin something like this for $9 (note this link is to a 6 pack, shipped... way cheaper to just buy one at a local store):
Sterilite 17571706 66-Quart ClearView Latch Box, Clear lid & base with Purple Latches, 6-Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003EH1GH2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Ry.pzbVP0W4RB
You can size the bin to your space and expected open spool count... just look for a latching lid and a lack of holes in the bin. I found the safety stickers about not letting kids play in the bin were a good hint that they sealed air tight. :)
Drop the evadry in the bin, load it up with filament and close the lid. Done. Cost about as much as a decent kilo of filament.
Every time I get a roll out or put one back I look at the evadry. When it is showing green I pull it out and plug it in in a bathroom overnight with the fan on. I had to do that about a week after setting this up. It's been months since and I've not seen any noticeable change in its indicator.
If I wanted to get fancy I could seal up the four small holes where the latches attach... but as long as I'm not having to do a drying cycle very often I'm not going to bother.
If you're in a small-ish 1 bedroom apartment, I found that the passive dehumidifiers work just fine. Maybe get a couple and keep one in a general area and one in the closet to protect your clothes and shoes. I think you can get them at any hardware store or order a reusable one off of amazon.
My roommate and I had this little guy in our bathroom to keep the moisture down and it worked great! https://www.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-dry-E-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1487965909&sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=passive+dehumidifier
Start with drying your filament or dumping and buying new.
Filament that’s been left out absorbs moisture just from the humidity in the air.
I bought a 5 gallon bucket along with an air tight screw top lid and one of these Rechargable Dessicant modules. Lock your filament in here, put that bucket in a warm place for a week and it should dry out. There’s a modification to this setup where you place a work light with a metal shade inside the bucket at the bottom with a low wattage bulb (40W) along with dessicant. You need a little shelf inside the bucket to sit the filament on. The turn the bulb on, close the lid, and wait overnight. You have to put holes in the bucket for this technique but it’s faster. IMO, save the $$ from building this heated chamber, buy new filament and have just the bucket with dessicant for storing when not in use.
If you have access to a large enough dehydrator or you have an oven than can go very low (100°F), that will work too.
Once you’ve dried out the filament your prints should improve. Heck I found that prints improved drastically from putting brand new filament in the bucket for a day.

Silica lasts only so long in a non-sealed space. This is reusable and will last. Just gotta pull it out and redry it every so often.
Pick up one of these and leave it on top of the terrarium screen lid:

Copying my comment from another thread.
Depending on how big your keezer is, you might want to get an Eva-dry E-500 or Eva-dry E-333.
Here's a good deal on a 2 pack of E-333's.
I just put mine together this weekend.
Around $220 for everything, but you can fit two 6 gallon carboys and two 3 gallon carboys or a few 1 gallon jugs on the hump.
My guess would be old filament as well, probably soaked up a bit of moisture making it even more brittle. You're printing PLA? I use 1.75mm and if I leave the filament loaded the unspooled part will become brittle and crack after a few days. Make sure you're storing your filament in a plastic container with a good desiccant pack when not using it.
I use two of these in my fermentation chamber. It keeps everything really dry. I've found it helps the most when fermenting ales in the 60 degree range. It's a perfect environment for mold to grow. Moderate temperatures and high humidity. Since I started using those things several years ago that problem has been eliminated. Great thing is, when they're full you can just plug them into an outlet overnight and they're ready to go again.
Once you have multiple rolls of filament, I'd suggest getting a well-sealing plastic box for them to store them with a mini dehumidifier. I got this one, no power needed except when refreshing it: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H0XFCS/
I also found the following useful for the build which others had already mentioned:
Enjoy the build! I'd recommend using the online instructions and checking comments left by others.
I have been using the slightly smaller E-333 and its been great so far.

I am storing my filament in a plastic storage bin with an Eva-Dry renewable dehumidifier. I had seen the Big Clive video about the solid state dehumidifier too. I looked at the reseller referenced in the video and got sticker shock. I found the Eva-Dry after a bit of googling. I noticed in the reviews that several people were using it for filament. I have only had it a few days, so I really can't say how effective it is.
I'd look into setting up an air re circulation fan like this, and a rechargeable dehumidifier like this.
Rather than fiddling with it, I just picked up one of these which is working fine for now.
i bought this as a dessicant for my container. I bought that specific one because its reusable you just plug it in and it dries itself and back to business.
How about a big clear tote that is air sealed? https://www.target.com/p/sterilite-54-qt-gasket-box-clear-with-blue-latches/-/A-15079778
I'm using that with a rechargeable desiccant https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H0XFCS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04__o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and monitoring with a hygrometer https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H1R0K68/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I designed some storage rails and can hold 8 spools on the two sets of rails, with room in between for another spool. More spools could be stacked on top of the spools on the rails if necessary.
I went with a Sterilite gasket box and a passive dehumidifier.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000H0XFCS?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
This setup should let you store it indefinitely.
>Maybe try some of those silica gel packets?
I've had a decent amount of success with reusable dehumidifying systems. This is the one I'm using now, although it's too soon to tell how it'll hold up in the long run (I've had it 4 months and so far so good though).
Maybe try something like this for in the tank?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000H0XFCS/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1475086737&sr=8-2&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=mini+humidifier+eva+dry&dpPl=1&dpID=41DkN9qQr3L&ref=plSrch
I have around 40 spools and live in Florida, so humidity is a big concern. I keep the filament in these. One of these to keep the box dry. I stick one of these to monitor the humidity in the box. They always read < 10%.
My usual routine is to not put anything into a dry box that hasn't been dried out in this. Usually I just put everything in a stack and dry them all out on Saturday mornings.
I have a very similar setup. Do yourself a favor and get one of these dehumidifiers and a computer fan to keep the air moving. Ever since I got mine I have noticed no moisture in my Keezer
I keep all of my filament that I'm not using stored in one of these airtight containers: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00186O0LU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
The 25 pound container in that link is big enough to hold at least eight spools of 1kg plastic from atomic filament.
&nbsp;
Inside of the container I place one of these renewable desiccant devices: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H0XFCS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
&nbsp;
I then keep the container next to my printer, which is inside my house so it maintains room temperature.
I'm also Guy30, and I definitely had the same thoughts when I read yesterday's email! I'm bringing an extra dry bag and a renewable mini dehumidifier that I plan on stashing my pricey electronics in when not in use because it sounds like humidity will be the biggest issue. I'll probably lock it in my suitcase during the host family months, and worry about living on my own when it comes to that time. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H0XFCS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s03?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1)
Excited to meet you later this month!
I use this and it keeps my chest freezer bone dry. Love it.
As long as the desiccant doesn't leak and contact your equipment, you should be fine. I myself use the following and it is fantastic.
http://www.amazon.com/Eva-dry-Renewable-E-333-Wireless-Dehumidifer/dp/B000H0XFCS

http://www.amazon.com/Eva-dry-Renewable-E-333-Wireless-Dehumidifer/dp/B000H0XFCS
It seems like a total gimmick, but they actually work for when you need to keep a small space dry.
If you don't want to run a plug in dehumidifier, try a renewable style like these from Eva Air. Just keep an eye on the beads and when they change color, plug in the dehumidifier and it'll dry the beads out.
I use This inside of This . its been ~60 days and still hasn't changed color to indicate that it needs renewed.
I use something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Eva-Dry-E-333-Renewable-Wireless-Dehumidifer/dp/B000H0XFCS
Check it once in a while and plug it in to dry the silica beads and toss back in the safe.
Just get one of These and put it under the cover.
I just use one of those rechargeable passive devices like this. Simple and seems to work just fine, I've been using it for 5 years and no rust on anything in my safe, which I keep in the basement only a few feet from my sump pump.

FYI OP, What you have there is a regular fire safe. As others have pointed out it's no good when it comes to burglars...but it's halfway decent at protecting papers and documents through a fire.
If you are worried about protection from fire and storing electronic media, DVD's etc...What you should have picked up is a fire safe rated to protect Media. They have SIGNIFICANTLY more fire protection/insulation and will give your device a much much better chance of surviving a fire. Not sure where you're located but here is one on Amazon.
Two more notes...remember fire is put out with water...so it wouldn't hurt to put your flash drive in a small watertight pelican case within your safe.
For those mentioning humidity in a safe this item does a great job and is reusable vs. many other other items which are one time use.
Yes, and probably better to do it that way than baking. Using heat can also drive off other volatile additives and compounds.
I'd use something like this (Just one example picked from Amazon; there are other, similar products.) for the desiccant, since it's rechargeable. Toss in an indicator strip. You're probably good when it reaches equilibrium at 20% in the container.
Both are sold on Amazon in the US

It would hurt my wallet to try and fail xD
Congrats! When we moved into our home we got this one I believe: https://www.amazon.com/First-Alert-2013F-Water-Protector/dp/B000MPMEZ2/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=first+alert+fire+water+safe&amp;qid=1558365343&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-10 has worked well so far, the latch is very strong, but I think the keys are a weak point on all these types of safes. I just leave ours unlocked honestly and just use it in case of fire. It has plenty of space to hold all our documents, passports, checkbooks, debit cards, birth certificates, whatever. One thing to note is that waterproof safes can get moldy. To solve that, We also put in an Eva Dry: https://www.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-dry-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=dehumidifier+plug+in&amp;qid=1558365429&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-3 which works amazing. Just take it out every few months and plug it in for a couple hours and it's ready to go back in and keep everything dry.
Not a pellet user, but I use plastic bins for storing grain. If you're going to use a plastic bin, consider investing in a dehumidifier. The eva dry sells on Amazon for about $20 and it is rechargeable. Good for keeping your pellets mold free and dry

I have one of these. It doesn't require any power until you want to dry out the crystals that absorb the moisture. For really humid environments you should probably have several.
I personally dont worry about it. Ive seen guys with 999 coins that go back to the 80s and then people with sterling or 90% coins that are hundred years old. It really depends on where you live and the climate. If you are worried there are some recharable gun safe storage dehumidifiers that are inexpensive that you just have to charge over night once a month.
Just buy a couple of these. They are kind of large but will do the job fine.

Yep! I actually flipped mine upside down for easier access to the filament rolls inside, and put the holes in the lid. I've got plenty of dessicant packets from filament, so I just leave a handful in there. In my main filament storage tub, I have one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-dry-E-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0XFCS/
The dehumidifier we were looking at was this sorta thing. It's not electric, gel based, but then you plug it in to reverse (de-un-humidify) the gel back to normal.
I would fill fat pack boxes with the toploaders, and then put them inside a rubbermaid container that has a seal around the edge. I recommend putting one of these in the container. It is basically a giant desiccant pack that can be replenished once it fills up.
I used this to help decrease humidity and it worked quite well. Highly recommended!
I use one of these in my filament bin: https://smile.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-dry-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=reusable+dessicant&amp;qid=1562520189&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-3
sorry, something like this. I use it in my camera pelican case to protect my stupidly expensive camera gear from fungus, which is known to plague camera lenses. You dont want to lock optics in a dark area with moisture, and i would not want funus, mold or general funk growing on my index. I found the plug in rechargeable silica gel to be the most convenient. Alternatively you can find a tin can version and recharge it via putting the can in the oven. I am lazy so i chose the outlet version. It felt more secure and less likely to spill beads everywhere.
Buy one of these. Check and renew once every month or two. Problem solved. Eva-dry Renewable E-333 Wireless Mini Dehumidifer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_0qb3tb0PVHZWGV19
I keep a mini dehumidifier in the corner of the enclosure - http://www.amazon.com/Eva-dry-Renewable-E-333-Wireless-Dehumidifer/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1395396626&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=mini+dehumidifier. It does help a bit. Or you could look into one of the small electric dehumidifiers for the room.
It certainly can be a problem. I have a gun safe (fireproof & "waterproof") that I also utilize for MTG, and have had only mild problems, but the relative humidity in my home is on the low side.
If you're looking at a small document style safe (1.3 - 2.5 cu. ft), I recommend a cheap wireless dehumidifier like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Eva-dry-Renewable-E-333-Wireless-Dehumidifer/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=cm_cr_dp_asin_lnk
The above is essentially the exact same product that Stack-On (a lower end gun safe manufacturer) markets to dehumidify their safes, but without the Stack-On branding and it's about $10 cheaper.
It sounds like your thermometer is inaccurate. Check it against boiling water and a glass full of ice and water.
Besides that, freezers do a bad job (or no job) of circulating air within the unit when they are operating, causing temperature stratification. Pick up one of these and let it run all the time you will have a much more consistent temps throughout the freezer.
https://www.amazon.com/Holmes-Mini-Velocity-Personal-HNF0410A-BM/dp/B004WT6Z54
Also, since you mentioned frost on the side, get one of these too. It will remove moisture from the air before it has a chance to condense and freeze on the sides. Just remember to recharge it once a month or so.

Damp rid works but if you want a reuseable option these are pretty great. https://www.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-dry-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=sxin_2_ac_d_pm?keywords=dessicant+reusable&amp;pd_rd_i=B000H0XFCS&amp;pd_rd_r=95d24195-00f7-441d-be92-b5ba6849133f&amp;pd_rd_w=OPVGR&amp;pd_rd_wg=PEhdF&amp;pf_rd_p=64aaff2e-3b89-4fee-a107-2469ecbc5733&amp;pf_rd_r=B67YVD8TBNMHZA22X1TR&amp;qid=1563110968&amp;s=gateway I rotate a few between keezer and ferm chambers. IIRC I bought them last prime day so might be worth looking out for.
These EvaDry are worth their weight in gold. Keeps the unit dry to avoid mold.
A trombone brush works great for cleaning the drains behind the seat belt towers. Just be careful pushing it all the way through and yanking it back out: there are little rubber flaps at the bottom that can rip off if you jam them too hard.
As far as the water in there now, soak up as much as you can, dry with a hair dryer (being careful not to burn or melt the carpet), and if it's still a little damp an RV Dehumidifier can remove the rest of the moisture in the cabin.
That ziploc storage bin looks perfect! going to my local walmart to see if they have one. Would you say the silica gel is better than one of these fancy dehumidifiers?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H0XFCS/
Get one of these, too. Keezers and fermentors have a lot of problems with mold because you're operating outside the designed temp parameters.
I bought this mini one here. It should do the trick.
I can't speak for Damp-Rid but I've been using this in mine and it is awesome. I just take it out once a week to dry out for a few hours and then its good to go again.
I also do tubs. They can hold a lot of spools. I currently have two tubs and seven 1KG spools in each but I could fit a few more in each.

So I did something very similar, for the dehumidifier part I used this instead - Eva-Dry New and Improved E-333 Renewable Mini Dehumidifier. It is awesome and works really well and when the indicator shows that it needs recharged you just plug it in for a bit and then you can use it again.
Buy one of these https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H0XFCS
It's the same silica, but in a box that has a built-in heater so you can reuse the silica
Get one of these and oil your guns.
I am a fan of the Eva-dry E-333 Renewable Mini Dehumidifier. Basically, it is silica gel in a unit that has a heater. When the gel turns green which indicates it done absorbing water, you plug it in. The heater evaporates the moisture and then you can reuse it. You only buy this unit which is $15 one time.
I put one of these in a plastic covered crate I purchased at a big box office supply shop with about 6-8 reels of filament. If you want to drive the humidity lower you can just add another unit.

You might even try something like this small dehumidifier. It's what I use in my "dry box". The box sits on top of my enclosure, and has a small hole leading down into the printer. I keep 2-3 rolls of filament in it at once, and that dehumidifier.
Once the crystals turn blue, I plug the dehumidifier into the wall for a couple of hours to dry it out, and right back in the box it goes.
This system has worked great for me for the past year, and was less than $30 total.
I use a ziploc branded weather sealed box with one of these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H0XFCS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I recharge it about once every 4-6 weeks. I like this much better than one-and-done packets.
Highly recommend getting one of these and stick it into your filament box.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H0XFCS
it works really well and when it gets too moist (you can see the color change) you just pop it onto a wallsocket for 24hr and it's goo to go again.
beats collecting the little packets of desiccant and drying them in the oven :)
I don’t know if it’s your problem but humidity was definitely mine. I just wanted to share I bought one of these and put in my box. I’m going to get another one so I can swap them out every other week.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01974FX42/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Seems to work rather well.
I'm not sure how I could run anything electrical through this safe, there's no outlet hole anywhere on it and I already have it bolted down to the concrete. I think I'm just going to switch my system around a bit, I have 3 of these inside my safe right now and they're only keeping the humidity level down about 3-5 percent. If I take them out and close the safe, the level will go up to around 58-60 percent.
I have This mini dehumidifier on top of her cage, read it works well but it doesn't seem to do the job for me.
A renewable desiccant dryer would be a great addition to the filament cab.

I use this in a 5 gallon bucket with a lid to keep my filaments dry.
I use a IRIS 46 quart weathertight storage box with a renewable mini dehumidifier.
They make the thermostats for converting chest freezers to kegerators. The temp sensor has thin wire that can run under the lid seal and one of these seems like the solution for condensation.
I'e made these 'quilt boxes' in the past. What I've do now is use a honey super with a dehumidifier in it like this https://www.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-dry-E-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0XFCS I'll place it over the top board hole, slightly rasied to let air circulate.

I'm having a similar issue of my 7 cu ft chest freeze being about 85% humid. I'm looking into buying a passive dehumidifier that, according to the reviews, should work great in a small space. Check it out on amazon. I know you didnt want to buy a dehumidifier but 't's pretty inexpensive and it's renewable.

I have Sterilite airtight boxes and put an Eva-Dry in it. I also have a Hygrometer in the box, and it tells me that the humidity stays about 10% in the box. Nice and dry.
oh wtf. I was at work when i read this on my phone. I must have missed that. Wow. What a bitch. Who does that shit. Sorry dude. Well seal up that filament in weather tight storage containers. Sounds like you got a lot. Put Eva drys in there. And put this on social media everywhere. Thats scummy.

Definitely buy plastic in bulk if you're planning on using that to save money and profit long term. If you have one near you, Microcenter has PLA, PETG, ABS, and many other assorted filaments in many different colors for sale starting at $14 per (2kg spools I think, been a long time since I've checked the mass amount on my spools period). Some people have had issues with the Inland filament, but I've never had a single issue. My favorite is their off color "cream" white PLA. These are usually distinguishable by a Green dot sticker on the box. Produces a really nice surface finish, and even better after sanding.
However, I also suggest you invest in a storage solution. What I've gone with:
- For storage if you have a Container Store near you (or just get something similar): https://www.containerstore.com/s/clear-weathertight-trunk/d?q=weather%20tight&productId=10024301
- For filament dehumidifying: https://www.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-dry-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=sr_1_41?keywords=rechargeable+silica&qid=1570113444&s=gateway&sr=8-41
I have filament from when I first purchased my 3D printer in 2016, and after continuously storing it in this solution since, it still prints effectively and cleanly with minimal to zero water vapor related issues.
Something like this might fit the bill.
I have 2 of these https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_DU8zzb2BH9PBD and they keep the humidity down somewhat with airflow over them

I have a little oven that sits on a table in my garage to heat my spools of filament for 3-4 hours to go back into my box when I'm done using them.
I have mine in a large plastic bin. I also have one of these in each (2 total right now, might need a 3rd this hobby is so addicting. )

Thanks ordered this one The new and improved version. 4 stars out of 3400 reviews so it has to be pretty good.
Humidity is really high where I am in Sullivan County. I have been using a mini dehumidifier in my cabinet and it seems good so far. Every couple weeks I plug it into the wall and it heats up to evaporate the water.
Grab a couple of Ikea 365+ boxes with gasketed lids (792.767.60), and Eva-dry E-333 Renewable Mini Dehumidifier at Amazon to store your filament in. These gasketed bins aren't the larges,t but they do seal really well.
I also have Ikea Samla bins that I added my own gasket to and printed clips for, as well as Sterilite 24Qt latched bins as well for my filament storage..
as for their translucent filaments, what temperature are you printing with it at? I dont have the MMU2, but I do have the MK3s that has the tapered extruder. I have found that some materials require higher temps to print properly. I normally print with the AB PLA at around 210-215c, and I have not experienced any issues with that filament. Sometimes you need to print at a higher temp than what the filament says on the package with the newer extruder.
I store my filament in these Weathertight Storage Boxes

It is obviously a HUGE risk, but the alternative is getting rid of it and having nothing. So, really what do you have to lose? Be creative, and do your best to weather-proof and critter proof it. They even sell mini dehumidifiers (https://www.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-dry-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0XFCS/) you could stick in the cabinet to keep it dry internally. Odds are you'll be shit out of luck in a year or so, but you are already shit out of luck with no space in the house so... good luck!
Dessicants saturate with water and become useless within a couple days so unless you plan on digging them out and drying them in the oven once or twice a week it's a waste of time. They are really only good if you buy them new, or dry out the crystals from ones you collect and then use them in small airtight containers like ammo boxes or vaccuum sealed packs.
Buy a couple of these and recharge them as needed. http://www.amazon.com/Eva-dry-Renewable-E-333-Wireless-Dehumidifer/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1416422512&amp;sr=1-1
Don't need to use an oven to dry out, just plug in and wait.
I use this in my filament storage boxes. It's nice because the window tells you if it needs to be recharged and when it's done being recharged.
Could be, yes. Make sure the fermonster isn't cracked, but most likely condensation. Get an Eva Dry from amazon - it's a great, inexpensive dehumidifier.
Nah, not a dehumidifier like that.

($6)M3 Lock nuts:Critically needed for a simple mod
($10)Threaded rod and nuts:Please note that this item seemed difficult to find online. I recommend going to your local hardware store and getting two 5/16” rods of at least 16” in length. They should have an assortment of threaded rod in various lengths available. Also note that the pitch of the threading matches the nuts you buy. Further instructions regarding this can be seen in Azza’s Z-Axis braces below.)

Below is the order of printable upgrades I recommend but I suggest you mix in a few other prints along the way because this is a hobby after all and you should be having fun. It helps to have your quality as tuned in as much as possible for some of these so be patient and keep trying if you need to.
Print
Spool holder- temporary : Until you can mount your spool on top of the enclosure or any other personal preference.
Belt tensioner- print x2
Z-brace
Shielded stop button
Cable relocator : It’s a pain, but if you spend the time to do this and turn your extruder motor 90 degrees then you can get the full Z height without ruining your cables. It does involve opening all the cables to the PSU and feeding a few extra inches back through the cable chains.
Cable shroud : Looks nice if you do the cable relocator.
The following need to be printed in ABS:
M3 Bed Nut retainer: 10/10 upgrade. I know they look worse than the nice metal stock ones, but these help keep your bed level longer.
CiiCooler
Glass bed Holder
Now that the first major round of printed upgrades is done it’s time to shift to a few more supplies to pick up to really fine tune the machine.

($15)rechargeable dehumidifier: For keeping in the bin with your opened filaments
($9)Extruder gears: Might be able to hold off on these, but will need eventually. If for some reason you have a Maker Select with metal X-axis blocks (V1 and V2, but not V2.1) then this is a must. You can follow this guide for a how to.
($28)Metal extruder plate and lever: Not needed, but nice.
($14)Noctua 40mm fan: Not needed, but makes the printer a lot quitter. A LOT quieter.
($50)MicroSwiss All Metal Hot End: The destruction of my PTFE tube by this point pushed me to doing this upgrade. If needed you can follow this guide for replacement. Remember to tighten/loosen when the nozzle its hot.
($6)Ceramic cotton: Tore off the stock one when replacing for the all metal hot end by accident. At least its thicker than stock
Now that the printer is in its final form, its time for the enclosure which is a stacked Ikea Lack hack.
Print
Spool holder
Pi Case
120mm fan cover
Fan grill
120mm fan PSU modification: I edited this to fit upside down since my PSU is mounted on the underside. This was nice since I blew the 40mm fan anyways so it made everything a lot quieter than before.

That's a relatively small enclosure so you might be able to get away with a few of these ideas not in any particular order:

This is the one I am using.
You are already ahead of the game with a air purifier and dehumidifier. Be sure to keep the dehumidifier empty. Also, there are lots of house plants that help with cleansing the air.
When I lived in basement apartments, I also used these types of products in my closets. They seemed to help.
I was just starting to worry about this! Michigan humidity gets gnarly.
Thought about grabbing one of these and putting it in my medicine cabinet since I also have other vitamins and supplements that could benefit from a dryer environment.

So do you not have any intake fans at all? I was looking for a fan strip across your rig like what the Vedha Case has but I don't see any.
Also, it looks like you're powering your risers with the sata adapters that come with the risers. I really recommend changing over to using 4-pin molex or 6-pin PCIe directly from your psu. Those adapters are really cheaply made and they add another point of failure. Additionally, they're always molded connectors which are notorious melting because the plastic is injected around the cables which end up getting too close and then you can electrical arcs across two wires which causes the plastic to melt and the wires eventually fuse together and you get a fire. PCIe risers CAN pull up to 75 watts, but very rarely do they use that much, and SATA connectors are only rated for 54 watts so it's just not a good idea when it's not that much more work to power them directly from 6-pin PCIe or 4-pin molex. You may be fine for weeks or months and then one day you may not be. Also because of the arcing issue I mentioned above, I don't think its even that they run too hot, just that the wires get too close together which causes the arc and the eventual melting of the plastic.
So yeah, I wouldn't use SATA but if you're gonna use it I highly recommend either getting some adapters with crimped connectors like these or just doing SATA directly from your PSU with crimped connectors.
I live in Georgia and so I'm going to be looking at implementing either something like this or probably a grow tent in one of the rooms of my house that rarely gets used. If I had a covered porch I think I'd definitely use this method. Did you run the power lines yourself? How much work was that? 30amp 240v sounds so amazing when I'm dealing with 20 amp 120v right now. Not much room for growth right now.
Either way, great video and really cool for you to give credit to the person who inspired you. I saw you mention that you don't think humidity will be an issue but have you considered getting something like this as a just in case? Seems like a small investment to just hedge against any possible problems.
If you can swing $18, these renewable dehumidifiers do a pretty good job at keeping moisture down. Never used it in a grow tent but have used in fridges and works well. Can just plug it in for like 12 hours once it "fills up". You could probably just leave it plugged in in your tent too, but it generates a small amount of heat.
But it in an airtight container overnight with one of these
