Has anybody used one of these mini "dehumidifiers" to dry out filament as a substitute for buying a bunch of the desiccant beads? My filament seems OK, but I could do better to keep it dry.

The ones that are sold for single-use tend to break into pieces when they absorb too much water.

The ones intended to be reused normally have some mechanism to tell you they are "full", like changing colors.
