So a while ago I came across a YouTube Video suggesting the use of the actual Print Bed itself as a low budget Filament Dryer which quite frankly made a lot of sense to me so off I went to make myself one using my CO² Laser:

To check how the Temperature / Humidity Sensor in the front would fare I've had the Bed set to 70°C, closed the Enclosure and left it like that for a few hours at which point the Temperature was barely scratching the 50°C Mark but the Humidity had dropped to like 10% ( down from 50% taken straight out of its shipping Box ) while the external Thermistor touching the Build Plate ( weighted down with a piece of Aluminium ) was reading 68°C ( the 63.8°C came from an earlier reading )
The obvious question now is the thing regarding the Termperature / Humidity Sensor never reaching the intended 70°C while displaying a reduced Humidity.

- Should I even care about never reaching the set Temperature on the Termperature / Humidity Sensor ( are they perhaps not made to measure such temperatures?
)
- Should I perhaps only be caring the Humidity? It is technically the only thing we care about...
