Cheap hose dryer.

[James79]

I'm not a CCR guy, but I built a cheap, low pressure, hose dryer for my double hose regs and someone recommended I pass the idea to y'all...

Hose Dryer

Because randomness, and I'm trying to figure out better storage and transport of DH regs, I found myself wanting a reasonable way to dry hoses quick-ish. So I threw together an old 5v wall wart, a couple 30x10mm 5v fans left over from an old project, and some printed bushings. Instant low...

I don't know that my cheap 5v fans will push enough air for rebreather loop drying, but if the idea suits I can also mod the bushing design for other hose sizes easy enough.

Respectfully,

James

OK, I hadn't set that to downloadable, I don't use sketchfab regularly. Just fixed it! Thanks...

How did you print this part? Seems to be quite large. How big is your build plate?

FWI I have a prusa mk3s and to make it fit I used the features in prusa slicer to cut off the hook bit and introduce a couple of holes so that I could hang the hanger itself from a bit of string.
Works well as a hanger

Printed it online... Can't remember who I used, but I can find out if you want...

I don't use one but I wonder if a CPAP machine would work? I have seen them for a few dollars in thrift stores.

I'm interested if you don't mind checking, looks like a simple/elegant solution.
