I had been purchasing a different brand of desiccant beads that change from orange to green. I wanted a larger quantity of beads and found this 8 lb package at a lower price per pound. These beads are slightly smaller in diameter than my previous beads. I weighed the container before opening and it weighed 8 lb 6.3 ounces so yes it's a full 8 lbs of beads in a 6.3 ounce container. I use these with my 3D Printer to keep my filament dry between uses. I place each unused spool in a one gallon zip lock bag with a container filled with beads. I designed a 3D printable container that I use (can be found on the Printables website, search for 609780-max-air-desiccant-holder-spool). I also have a Bambu AMS where I use these beads to keep the 4 spools in the AMS dry. To monitor humidity levels I have a humidity sensor in my AMS. With the previous beads the lowest I could get the sensor reading was 20%. I replaced all the beads in the AMS with this new brand/batch and after 1 day the sensor read 11%; 2 weeks later and it still reads 11%. Note, this probably isn't the actual humidity as the sensor isn't accurate below 20% but it does give me a relative indication that the humidity is much lower. I'm very pleased with these beads and will reorder these if I ever need to reorder. I don't think that will be soon as 1) 8 lbs of beads is a lot of beads and 2) these beads can be dried out in an oven set to as high as 250F and reused or in my case I use my food dehydrator set at 150F when the outside humidity levels are low.

I bought this to lower the humidity in my AMS for my 3D printer and it works great. Took the humidity levels from 41% down to 10%.

The US Gulf Coast is quite a muggy place and I needed a dry environment in which to store my 3D printer filament as I was starting to notice quality problems.Grabbed an 80qt Sterilite tub with gasket and these silica gel beads. I placed 2 hygrometers, one inside to monitor relative humidity, and one outside as a control. Within 3 hours, the RH dropped to 12% in the box with 52% outside. (The photo shows 16% inside, but that happened simply by opening the box).I used 3/4 of the 8 lbs container in the tub (may add more) and used four organza bags to fill with beads and place in other unrelated locations.I would assume it would be best to actively dry your filament and then store it in a passive dry box like this. I cannot imagine that it will dry out filament that has already absorbed moisture, but then again, it might.I dig that the beads will, in theory, last a lifetime. I will likely get more.

I recently purchased the Wisesorb reusable Premium Indicating Silica Gel Beads (blue to pink) and have been absolutely thrilled with their performance! Initially, I got them to keep my 3D printer filament dry, but they have since proven to be incredibly useful for drying out electronics as well.Pros:+ Easy-to-see color change - The blue-to-pink color-changing feature is a game-changer, allowing me to clearly see when the beads have absorbed moisture and need to be recharged.+ Eco-friendly - I love that these silica gel beads are reusable, making them an environmentally conscious choice for keeping my belongings moisture-free. A few hours in my countertop oven and they were ready to go again.+ Long-lasting - The 8 lbs container is a fantastic value, as it provides enough silica gel beads to last a lifetime. You'll never need to worry about running out!Cons:Minor bead breakage - The only downside I've experienced is that some of the beads were broken, causing them to slip through my containers. However, this is a very minor issue considering the overall effectiveness of the product.I highly recommend these Silica Gel Beads for anyone in need of a reliable and environmentally friendly moisture control solution. Whether you're looking to keep your 3D printer filament dry or save your electronics from water damage, these beads are a versatile and dependable choice.

Used for my 3D printer filament ams. Dropped humidity down to 10% from 48% in under a half day.

Love this desiccant. Used for keeping humidity low while storing my 3D printing filament

Works well and kept my filament below 10% for over two months. I noticed my humidity sensor going up rapidly over a single week but the bead color hadn't changed. I put the used desiccant in a sealed jar and left it overnight. The beads are still blue but the sensor reads 31%. Great stuff as long as you don't rely on the color change.

Used to dry green rough turned bowls. Had good results. Reheated in oven to reactivate no issues.
