2LBS Fonday Premium Moisture Indicating Silica Gel Desiccant Beads

🎯 Performance I picked this up to use with my AMS 2 Pro, and it’s been excellent. Humidity inside the AMS went from E (high) down to B (low) in just a few hours, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Really pleased with how well it absorbs and maintains dryness. 🖨️ Setup & Use I printed AMS pods to hold the desiccant and popped them inside the AMS unit - works perfectly. I’ve uploaded pictures to show the product itself, the pods I printed, and also a screenshot from Bambu Studio showing the humidity drop for proof. 🔄 Recharge & Indicators One thing I like is that it’s not single-use - the desiccant can be “recharged” either by microwaving (7-12 minutes at 700W) or using an oven (0.5-2 hours at 90-120°C / 200-250°F). It also changes colour from orange to green when it’s absorbed moisture, which makes it really easy to see when it’s time to recharge. 📦 Overall Simple, effective, and great value for keeping filament dry inside the AMS. Works quickly, reusable, and easy to monitor - couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend it if you want to keep your filament in top condition.

I’ve been using this Fonday moisture-indicating silica gel in 3D-printed containers inside my Bambu Lab AMS 2 Pro, and it has worked brilliantly. The indicator colour change from orange to green is clear and easy to see at a glance, so I always know when it’s time to recharge. The beads absorb moisture very effectively — since switching to this, my filament has stayed in much better condition, especially the more sensitive materials. Print quality has been consistently reliable, with far fewer issues from damp filament. Recharging is simple. A quick bake and the beads are back to bright orange and ready to go again, which makes the 2lb bag great value over time. The beads flow well, don’t clump, and are perfect for topping up small containers or refilling custom 3D-printed inserts. If you’re running an AMS (or any filament storage setup), this is a superb desiccant that keeps everything dry and performing at its best. Very pleased with it.

Bought this to make my own small silica gel bags for keeping my cameras and lenses dry in the normally high humidity. Work very effectively and already some beads have turned a darker orange. It would seem they will be easy to regenerate in my microwave. One word of warning, they bounce well and have a habit of escaping when filling bags! Other than that a great solution for my needs.

Quality good really worked drying out the printer. Arrived on time.

I live in an extremely damp house which is prone to mould, so I thought these would be a great idea to absorb extra moisture in boxes and drawers. And so far, it looks like they work. I only ordered these yesterday and the silica gel bags I made have already turned green overnight. If the green colour truly means the beads have absorbed moisture, then these work like a charm! Silica gel can absorb about 37% of its weight in moisture, so the 2lbs (almost 1000g) can absorb about 370ml of water. These beads can be “recharged” or dried out by putting them in the oven. Do not use a microwave as it will damage the silica gel. It needs to dry slowly. Do not heat them hotter than 150° as it will destroy the absorbing properties of the beads. I put them in my oven on a baking sheet at 100° for 40 minutes and left them to cool inside the oven before poring them back into the container. They’ve returned back to orange and are ready to be reused! Apparently they can be reused over 500 times, so these beads are a very worthwhile purchase. Just note that silica gel can let moisture back into the air. Don’t leave the green beads to sit out as they will start to ‘leak’. It’s important to dry them out regularly. My only minor complaints are that the opening in the container is quite large. I wish it had a narrower opening so the beads could be poured without making a mess. I also noticed that many of the beads are broken and not whole pieces, but I’m sure they absorb moisture just the same. But overall, I’m very happy with these and will probably buy more!

Excellent product. Use in 3D printing I do and has been really keeping the moisture down. Can easily be recharged by drying in the oven or microwave.

This item arrived on time and was well packaged. The beads themselves are a good size and are for use with my 3D printer filaments. I have used others but these are perfect as I just need to glance at them to know if I need to dry them or replace them. So far the results have been very positive. I would definitely recommend them and would buy again for sure.

Just what I wanted and the colour indicator works very well. Bought in order to try and combat condensation in my windows. I half fill microwaveable containers with the silica beads and leave in the window sills. Once they’ve turned green you can microwave on defrost setting for 10 minutes, which dries them out to be reused.

Great stuff for 3D printing, highly recommend!

Pésimo servicio y producto

Schnelle Lieferung, Produkt entspricht genau der Beschreibung und die Qualität ist sehr gut. Die Verpackung war einwandfrei und alles kam unbeschädigt an. Ich bin mit dem Kauf sehr zufrieden und würde das Produkt jederzeit wieder bestellen. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

I bought this 2.1 lb tub specifically to keep the moisture levels low inside my Creality CFS unit, and it works perfectly. The beads fit easily into the desiccant compartments and immediately dropped the humidity levels down to where they need to be for flawless printing. The color-changing indicator feature is incredibly useful. It makes it very easy to see exactly when the beads are saturated and need a recharge. If you run a CFS or any multi-material dry box system, this tub is a must-have to prevent wet filament issues.

Acheté pour mettre dans mes blocs absorbants de mon AMS sur imprimante Bambu, et ça fait le taf. Bon rapport quantité/prix
