Replace or regenerate the desiccant

Check the desiccant monthly. Saturated beads let moisture ruin filament, causing bubbles, weak layers, and failed prints.

You'll need

  • New desiccant or oven
  1. Pop the AMS lid

    Lift the lid and pull out the small desiccant cartridges from each slot.

  2. Check the indicator

    If the colour beads have gone pink, the desiccant is saturated. Time for action.

    Why this matters
    Blue / orange = dry. Pink / green = saturated. Easy.
  3. Regenerate (oven) or replace

    Oven at 120 °C for 2 hours regenerates them. Or just drop in fresh beads — cheaper than your time, honestly.
