need a dehumidifier

[jonohoff1988]

my buddy helped me get it set up and it works great now! he gave me a fitting to have the PTFE tube connect directly into the dryer box and now it's fantastic!

sorry for being a jerk and thankyou for trying to help! i was totally out of line and look forward to NOT doing so again

I looked up your unit and initially could not tell what was inside of it, they show no pics in the product description for the inside, then I went to YouTube where I found this video. https://youtu.be/qsa2MI_3PIs?si=xNJNd2Mu2Qqpg_Xc The creator shows us the inside of the unit. Watching him rotate the reels it looks very smooth with those plastic reels. Are your reels cardboard? Is it not smooth because you're not able to pull straight up out of the box?

Just looking at it with no answers from you, my suggestions would be to consider changing to plastic reels to maximize smoothness. There are tons online advertised as empty 3d printing bobbins.

The other thing I considered was angle. If you're not able to pull straight up out of the unit perhaps adding a wedge that holds it slightly angled or even putting your own hole in the front of the lid. The holes don't look like anything special and it seems like it would easy to drill new ones in a place that gives you the angle needed for smoother feeding. If you wanted you could add your own grommets to the holes to increase the smoothness. I found these 2mm 2 piece grommets but you could probably find heat applied ones that you heat and press into the plastic in an orientation that would work for you.

Finally I considered 3D printing a new tray for inside of the box. When he pulled it out it did not appear overly complicated, and designing something that could accept better bearings, or offset the rollers in a way that allows the feed through to be smoother. If even looked like you might be able to put the unit on a stand and feed from the bottom. Obviously making a hole that avoids the heating element, and adding a grommet or something. I've seen several set ups where printers hang their filament above their printers. I mean if you like everything about the unit except that you struggle to feed from it there has to be a solution.

Anyway, best wishes and good luck.
