This is a design for modifying a COSORI 11.62" Food Dehydrator CFD-N051-W; 350W--will NOT fit the Cosori CFD165FD 13.8" 450W model! . The shell allows drying two spools of filament at a time. I used Polymaker Transparent PETg. On the Prusa MK3S I used .3mm layers mode. On the Bambu X1 I used .24mm layers. You can only print one of three required panels at a time. I used a 5 loop brim for extra stability while printing.


I used #4-40 x .5" screws and nuts; .25" or .38" lengths should work better.
2.5mm x 6-10mm hardware will work as well.
Use one Cosori tray on the bottom to keep the spool from being directly on the heater outlet.Use the stock Cosori top cover as well. 

This design does not destroy the stock trays.  That will allow you to still use the stock trays for making banana chips, etc.  It's also great for recharging desiccant, and there is plenty of room to do both filament and desiccant.  This dehydrator works far better than my more expensive dedicated dryer.  The temperatures are pretty accurate.  A lot of times I just dry for 30 minutes to an hour at 150-165F (66 to 74C) depending on if I am using PLA or PETg, and rarely more than 1:30.  Sometimes just 30-45 minutes is plenty.
