iDryer

logo

iDryer is a project that meaningfully elevates 3D printing. Built by a 3D-printer user for 3D-printer users, with a first-hand understanding of the pitfalls you run into when working with demanding engineering materials. Useful to anyone who prints them — especially to those for whom such materials are everyday business.

Philosophy

iDryer wasn't designed as an ecosystem — it became one. Requests from the community and the pursuit of consistent print quality gradually turned a single device into a family.

Everything the project is built from is open. Documentation, firmware, CAD, DWG drawings, metal-cutting files, the Series X controller, prototypes — all of it is openly available and can be reproduced. Production boards are sold, but only for convenience: anyone who can hold a soldering iron can build a working controller.

Devices

iDryer

  • iDryer Unit

    iDryer Unit

    The flagship. A compact dryer built for drying the engineering materials it's assembled for. Used for plastics that simply can't be printed without active drying. Working temperature 90°C with the stock enclosure, up to 110°C with a heat-resistant one — the range for ABS, ASA, PA6, PA66 and materials on the level of PC. Up to 4 Units run under a single controller and are managed from the portal.

  • iDryer X

    iDryer X

    An energy-efficient dryer for 2–4 spools, 90–110°C. Its PIR-panel enclosure holds temperature at around 30 W on average and 40–60 W under active drying — not hundreds of watts. Runs under the same controller as Unit and is managed from the same portal, but covers a different job: not quick on-demand drying, but a stable environment across weeks and months.

  • iHeater

    iHeater

    Active chamber heating for 3D printers. Works with any printer, including those with closed electronics — Creality, Bambu Lab, FlashForge and the like — where adding chamber heat through stock means is impossible. Powered from 220 V mains, it doesn't load the printer's PSU; the working 60–65°C inside the chamber open the door to ABS, ASA, PA, PC and other engineering plastics.

  • iDryer Probe (coming soon)

    The same Unit, without the heating — telemetry only. Plugs into anything: a drybox, a DIY dryer, an off-the-shelf consumer dryer like a Creality. Delivers what those devices usually lack: precise air humidity, real moisture loss measured by weight, temperature.

Control and cloud

Hardware is only half the story. The other half is the software that turns it into a daily tool.

  • iDryer Portal

    Your whole setup in one window: what's drying right now, how much of each filament you have left, what condition it's in. Start a session and get back to printing — nothing to keep in your head. A shared preset library already works; automatic import and export to slicers and new features tested by the community are on the roadmap.

  • Mobile app

    The same, in your pocket. Push notifications when drying is done. Works over your local network or via the cloud.

  • Public catalog

    An open reference for the whole 3D community: filaments, brands, drying and printing presets. No registration required. Growing into a shared library of user-submitted presets, tested by users themselves.

All of it is an inseparable part of iDryer, not a separate service.

Community

The project is built in the open. Questions, ideas, findings — where the users gather:
