Me? No.
I was being a smart ass with the lounge thread comment, and I did seriously think we were in the other thread. Lot of good info for you over there.
Mayhap I should cease and desist.

We love you @Sticks . Please tell us what you think 
. That’s one of your good qualities.
I canceled the easy bake oven and bought the vacuum pump degasser.

I would have thought that you would enjoy the Easy Bake Oven. I know I did! ***
*** When I was 7 years old and it was my older sister’s and she had all these Chocolate Cake mixes for it! 
Of course, that was 100 years ago…

To me the most surprising thing is this thread is that you had electricity when you were 7 years old. I was thinking electricity didn’t show up till you were in your late teens?!

Well, as a youngster, you’re not aware that an Easy Bake Oven is ‘run’ with a 60W incandescent light bulb and, thanks to Thomas Edison, we had those in our day.

That is honestly impressive you could bake with a lightbulb!

You could make cookies and cake. Ah, the sixties were great. I went outside at 6 am and didn’t come home until the street lights came on. We played with real guns, drank from the garden hose, and rode our bikes to the next town. In my later years, if the cops found you drunk, they brought you home and took your keys. In the morning, they would give you a tour of the jail. See this boy… Yes sir. Oh yeah, we walked to school both ways. No school buses in New Jersey
back then.

FYI on the topic of dehydration
edit obv, the best method is an vacuum oven, but enjoy the physics nightmare of heating up mass that isn’t present…
double edit disregard, starting another thread

I have watched that video before. He decently works through the issues.
The problem I have with the video is the variables, if it’s a hot humid summer day and you’re using your dehydrator your temperature rise and humidity will vary giving you way different results. If I was doing it in my air conditioned house totally different results again. Using a vacuum pump without a micron gauge you’re basically guessing went all the waters gone. So I’m not sure how we can gauge efficiency when he just has to guess when to turn the vacuum off and weigh it.
All at all its a good video.
Keeping your filament from getting wet in the first place is the best advice going.

Vacuum clothes storage bags…

Use a shopvac to suck them down. One medium sized bag per spool. Great way to store spools.

In-line method?

Cute video! You can’t doubt his eventual results but a bit cumbersome. His experiment fits my view of drying in the filament drying (while printing) vs the entire roll in the “toaster oven”. Most of the heat (with the oven) is affecting the outer layers.
We all know that tumbling a towel that is all rolled up is not likely to dry even after hours of drying. But, the roll of filament also resisted exposure to the inner layers from the moist air because it was wound up tight. So that is not comparing the same situation.
In the end, I don’t plan to tape all those tin cans together. 
Nice contribution to the discussion!

Just ordered some. That is a great way to store after drying. Lots of time I dry some filament and then put in a Ziploc bag only to feel that my effort might have been for naught.

I like this guy! He is like me
" I don’t want to wait 8 hours to dry my filament because by then I will have forgot what I want to print"
for me it would be 8 mins and I would have forgot!

One K Mart coaster for Mrs Bigdaddy2166. I am getting the hang of this.
I wish I had a fire engine red filament, but I will get some tomorrow.

It is cheaper than the $9500 hat I got from Langmuir for buying the Titan.
