Review: Excellent - love the larger bead size - 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.
Review: Keeps filament dry, works fast, and can be recharged - 🎯 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent moisture colour indicator!
*by D***L on 30 November 2025*

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.
