A loop and c/lung dryer - elcheapo fan off alibaba and a 3d printed ring to connect the hoses too -it takes a day to dry them out - cheese cloth on the wells to stop insects etc

Can you share the file for that?
My new to me (built in 2012), rEvo has a dive rite harness and wing, black rhino lining on the peanut, Brett’s dual cam band travel brackets, and a NERD2. Otherwise think it’s stock.

The one I got has seen salt water a few times. No signs of rust. Probably made in the same factory in China just with different names on it. If it ever breaks, toss and get another. Not needed, just nice to not have to rig the loop so the NERD is pointing down while it sits on the bench.
I hear there is a fancy new NERD cover in the works. Keep an eye out for it later this year.
Would be even nicer if there was a fancy new charging connector to replace the rather awkward and unreliable existing Nerd adapter. It’s expensive to replace too, the micro USB connector seems very fragile.

My setup is less fancy. With the cover on, no scrubbers. Takes about 1 day to be bone dry.
You can speed up the process by skipping the custom-made fan holder. Put the fan between the hoses. That way, the fan will push and pull the air at the same time.

so your just circulating the air? how does the moisture escape with the cover on ?

There is a bit more to it. I always open my unit and dry the cover, lungs, and squeeze the loop so that by the time I need to fan things out, moisture content is minimal. Also, I dry my units inside so circulation assists evaporation.
I am currently working on a prototype for portable drying. My main goal is to dry the unit as effectively as possible at a hotel room so that I can do back-to-back dive days with the driest possible counterlung & loop combo. I set the temp to 70F which kicks in AC and dries out the air in the room. The challenge is to increase circulation and inject dry air in. I tried with the cover on and w/o the cover - the results were inconclusive because my setup was less than optimal.
@lermontov - your setup is nice, as you have quick disconnect or bayonet attachments. I'll DM you.
Will keep you posted.
