The PrintDry Filament Drying System is an easy and affordable solution for 3D printing projects that use hygroscopic materials like nylon, PETG, PVA, and flexible filament. Many types of filament are hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs ambient moisture from the atmosphere if it isn't sealed in an air-tight container. The PrintDry Filament Drying System gives users two options for drying filament. With the included feed ports on the side of the container, feeding filament while it is being dried straight to the 3D printer means there is very little chance that moisture-laden filament will ruin your prints. Users can also pre-dry filament and have it ready to print outside the PrintDry as well. With a capacity of two spools and up to 4.5kg of filament, getting your favorite filament ready for optimized 3D printing is easy. Filament storage vacuum sealed container with air removal pump included.

Update 2019-05-04: Thanks to IsmaelPR1 for confirming that the "Commercial Chef CCD100W6" is the same as what was being sold as "Westinghouse WFD100W" when I bought it.
Many comments on a dominant e-tailer's site suggested this was a good food dehydrator to use for drying filament, but most also pointed out that you had to cut apart the racks, preventing its intended use for drying food, and Westinghouse doesn't seem to sell spare racks.
These extensions fit between existing racks to separate the racks enough to fit a filament spool in-between. NOTE that this is ONLY for the model WFD100W ... if you have the "101" model, see @mgg4's remix instead!
The 73mm high extension -- along with the height of the rack you put it on -- allows the widest spool I have (Taulman Bridge... just over 80mm) to fit with a filament clip still attached to the side. If you print just one set, this would probably be the most useful. This one is white in the photos.
If you have a big printer and don't need it in such small pieces, see…

In this video, I talk about why you should start drying your filament and how to do it.  You can use any number of off-the-shelf dehydrators with great results.  Here's a chart of the temperatures and times you should use to dry various filaments:

PLA - 45C (113F) at least 4 hours
ABS - 60C (140F) at least 2 hours
PETG - 65C (149F) at least 2 hours
Nylon - 70C (158F) at least 12 hours
Dessicant - 65C (149F) at least 3 hours

Tired of having to constantly dry your filament, having to wait hours on end until it is dry before you can print... only to have humidity ruin everything after a couple of hours? :)
