6LBS 3-5mm Orange Indicating Desiccant Beads

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.

🎯 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.

Great for Bambu Lab AMS

Like others in the reviews I've been using this to keep 3D printing filaments dry. It does a good job. I've "recharged" them in the oven and it works well, meaning you can keep reusing this product by drying it in the oven without having to buy more. I would not recommend using a microwave however. The instructions do not state the volume to be microwaved at a time and so the power and times given are not reliable. They also become extreme hot in the microwave without drying out.

Great stuff as you can see when the granules need to be changed and dried. Bought for my 3d printer filament but also use in my wardrobe to keep clothes staying fresh

Perfect for a Bambu AMS 2 Pro, I printed little pods to hold the desiccant and it reduced humidity from 42% when using the recommended silica packs down to 18% in a day. Beads are a good size too and the pods can hold a lot. The fact that I can restore them when full is an added bonus. Will save me a lot of cash in the long run.

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.

Bought to go with my 3D printer's AMS and works great keeping humidity to 10%. Just check the colour occasionally and if green in colour, just microwave for 10mins and replace when cool. Well recommended.

So far this desiccant has been very useful. I've had it for about half a year and it seems to keep all of my filament dry when put in a sealed container. I have 3D printed several containers that I've poured this desiccant in and in the picture that I attached I just have some sitting in a container inside of the sealed container my filament is in. It does exactly what it says and changes almost a dark purple color whenever it has absorbed all the water that it can. I was hesitant to microwave it at first because it was kind of scary lol. But I did microwave it and it turned Orange and worked exactly as advertised. I am now on my second use of it and I am very impressed with the results as my 3D prints consistently come out great.

Lieferung entsprach der Beschreibung. Es wurde tatsächlich Silicat der entsprechenden Größe 3-5mm geliefert. Ich hatte schon mehrere andere ausprobiert musste aber immer wieder feststellen das dann überwiegend Bruch und sehr viel kleineres Granulat geliefert wurde. Hier jedoch stimmt die Grössenangabe.

Conforme à la description. Utilisé pour absorber l’humidité des filaments d’impression 3D

I recently purchased the 2LBS Fonday Premium Moisture Indicating Silica Gel Desiccant Beads in the orange-to-green variety, and I’m really impressed with their performance! As someone who lives in a humid area and needs to protect electronics, leather goods, and other moisture-sensitive items, these beads have been a total game-changer. Pros: Moisture Indicator: The color change from orange to green is such a useful feature! It’s super easy to see when the beads need to be recharged. I no longer have to guess or worry about whether my items are properly protected from humidity. Large Quantity (2LBS): The 2-pound bag is perfect for my needs. I was able to distribute the beads into several small pouches to use in different storage containers and drawers, keeping everything from my camera gear to leather bags dry and safe. Effective Moisture Absorption: These silica beads are incredibly effective at absorbing moisture. I’ve noticed a significant decrease in any musty odors and have had no issues with condensation in my sealed boxes or closets since using them. Safe and Convenient: The beads are non-toxic, so I can use them without worrying about harmful chemicals, and they’re easy to work with. I also appreciate how simple they are to recharge (just pop them in the oven for about an hour to restore their effectiveness). Long-Lasting: I’ve been using these beads for a couple of months now, and they’re still working great. The fact that they’re rechargeable means I can use them indefinitely, making this a really cost-effective solution in the long run. Cons: Size of Beads: The beads are a bit larger than some other silica gel products I’ve used, but this doesn’t affect their functionality. It just means they take up a little more space in tight storage areas, but it’s not a major issue for me. Final Thoughts: The 2LBS Fonday Premium Moisture Indicating Silica Gel Desiccant Beads are exactly what I needed to keep my belongings safe from moisture damage. They’re easy to use, effective, and the moisture-indicating feature is a huge plus. Whether you’re storing electronics, documents, clothing, or other items, these beads offer reliable protection against humidity. I highly recommend them!
