Nothing is more important in the lab, manufacturing facility or other workplace as your health and safety. But in truth, anywhere you are in the world, they can protect your valuable and delicate equipment from harm. There is no such thing as too dry when it comes to filament, so sealing the spools in a box with some dessicant is fine. Measuring of real relative humidity values - The sensor position in all our drying cabinets is in the highest possible point in the cabinet.

The Peli 1510 is a popular option, since it’s right at the maximum size for carry-on luggage and fits a fair amount of gear. You’ll also find a brushed metal handle and a lock that comes with two keys so you can secure your valuables. There are adjustable feet on the bottom of the cabinet so that you can level the case quickly and easily.

I opted for the largest, a 600L model, and had no problem filling its shelves with the photo equipment I've amassed over my adult life; I even found room to dedicate to loaner equipment on hand for review. Filament spools are big and bulky, and unless the unit is pretty big they would take up a significant amount of your dry cabinet space. If you go for a passive design, this usually involves dessicant in an airtight enclosure such as a plastic storage container or a storage cabinet. Solidly constructed from steel and toughened glass, this is going to take up a lot of space, and you'll need two or three people to move it upstairs; although it's on casters so moving it within a room is not so tricky.

If you constantly use your gear, day in and day out, the chances of it developing moisture related issues is minimal even in a moderately humid climate. A well performing QC laboratory ensures the integrity of a company's production process from raw material validation to finished product verification. This model ships with six shelves (four of which are adjustable), and is a good fit if you have more photo gear than you know what to do with. Having the cameras out in the open, in sunlight and air, would usually suffice to prevent fungal growth in all but the most extreme cases.

Each door has a silver handle—you need to install them during setup with a Philips-head screwdriver. First, the 40% relative humidity that your camera equipment will be happy at is at the top end of what filament should be kept at.

It’s best to give your gear time to match the ambient temperature while it’s still sealed inside bag or case, and only put it in the dry box once it’s fully acclimatized. In an active dry box, this means that the dehumidifying mechanism has to work extra hard removing the newly present moisture. What’s more, 3D filaments would not benefit from the precise humidity control a sophisticated dry cabinet offers.
