[Net Weight 8LBS] Blue Indicating Silica Gel Beads Desiccants - Rechargeable Desiccant Beads Silica Beads (Blue to Pink, 1 Pack of 8LBS)

Perfect for those 3D Printing Dry-Boxes! Great moisture removal and humidity level control! Easy identification of when they need to be dried out, and they are quite easy to reset!

I had been purchasing a different brand of desiccant beads that change from orange to green. I wanted a larger quantity of beads and found this 8 lb package at a lower price per pound. These beads are slightly smaller in diameter than my previous beads. I weighed the container before opening and it weighed 8 lb 6.3 ounces so yes it's a full 8 lbs of beads in a 6.3 ounce container. I use these with my 3D Printer to keep my filament dry between uses. I place each unused spool in a one gallon zip lock bag with a container filled with beads. I designed a 3D printable container that I use (can be found on the Printables website, search for 609780-max-air-desiccant-holder-spool). I also have a Bambu AMS where I use these beads to keep the 4 spools in the AMS dry. To monitor humidity levels I have a humidity sensor in my AMS. With the previous beads the lowest I could get the sensor reading was 20%. I replaced all the beads in the AMS with this new brand/batch and after 1 day the sensor read 11%; 2 weeks later and it still reads 11%. Note, this probably isn't the actual humidity as the sensor isn't accurate below 20% but it does give me a relative indication that the humidity is much lower. I'm very pleased with these beads and will reorder these if I ever need to reorder. I don't think that will be soon as 1) 8 lbs of beads is a lot of beads and 2) these beads can be dried out in an oven set to as high as 250F and reused or in my case I use my food dehydrator set at 150F when the outside humidity levels are low.

This works great and has way more than you ever will need. It's great at removing moisture, keeps my bambu lab AMS at 7-8% humidity

This is totally recyclable! Put in the oven 250 deg for 2hrs, beads will turn back to blue

I recently purchased the Wisesorb reusable Premium Indicating Silica Gel Beads (blue to pink) and have been absolutely thrilled with their performance! Initially, I got them to keep my 3D printer filament dry, but they have since proven to be incredibly useful for drying out electronics as well.Pros:+ Easy-to-see color change - The blue-to-pink color-changing feature is a game-changer, allowing me to clearly see when the beads have absorbed moisture and need to be recharged.+ Eco-friendly - I love that these silica gel beads are reusable, making them an environmentally conscious choice for keeping my belongings moisture-free. A few hours in my countertop oven and they were ready to go again.+ Long-lasting - The 8 lbs container is a fantastic value, as it provides enough silica gel beads to last a lifetime. You'll never need to worry about running out!Cons:Minor bead breakage - The only downside I've experienced is that some of the beads were broken, causing them to slip through my containers. However, this is a very minor issue considering the overall effectiveness of the product.I highly recommend these Silica Gel Beads for anyone in need of a reliable and environmentally friendly moisture control solution. Whether you're looking to keep your 3D printer filament dry or save your electronics from water damage, these beads are a versatile and dependable choice.

Works good!

These work great to help keep your 3D printing filament dry and ready to use. I like that they change color to indicate they need a recharge. With this size jug I shouldn't need to buy anymore for a year or so!

I use this as a descent in my Bambu lab 3D printer to keep the humidity down. It works very well .
