Wisesorb [Net Weight 8LBS] Blue Indicating Silica Gel Beads Desiccants - Rechargeable Desiccant Beads Silica Beads (Blue to Pink, 1 Pack of 8LBS)

I recently purchased the Wisesorb reusable Premium Indicating Silica Gel Beads (blue to pink) and have been absolutely thrilled with their performance! Initially, I got them to keep my 3D printer filament dry, but they have since proven to be incredibly useful for drying out electronics as well. Pros: + Easy-to-see color change - The blue-to-pink color-changing feature is a game-changer, allowing me to clearly see when the beads have absorbed moisture and need to be recharged. + Eco-friendly - I love that these silica gel beads are reusable, making them an environmentally conscious choice for keeping my belongings moisture-free. A few hours in my countertop oven and they were ready to go again. + Long-lasting - The 8 lbs container is a fantastic value, as it provides enough silica gel beads to last a lifetime. You'll never need to worry about running out! Cons: Minor bead breakage - The only downside I've experienced is that some of the beads were broken, causing them to slip through my containers. However, this is a very minor issue considering the overall effectiveness of the product. I highly recommend these Silica Gel Beads for anyone in need of a reliable and environmentally friendly moisture control solution. Whether you're looking to keep your 3D printer filament dry or save your electronics from water damage, these beads are a versatile and dependable choice.

These work very well. And recharging them was not too much trouble.

I had been purchasing a different brand of desiccant beads that change from orange to green. I wanted a larger quantity of beads and found this 8 lb package at a lower price per pound. These beads are slightly smaller in diameter than my previous beads. I weighed the container before opening and it weighed 8 lb 6.3 ounces so yes it's a full 8 lbs of beads in a 6.3 ounce container. I use these with my 3D Printer to keep my filament dry between uses. I place each unused spool in a one gallon zip lock bag with a container filled with beads. I designed a 3D printable container that I use (can be found on the Printables website, search for 609780-max-air-desiccant-holder-spool). I also have a Bambu AMS where I use these beads to keep the 4 spools in the AMS dry. To monitor humidity levels I have a humidity sensor in my AMS. With the previous beads the lowest I could get the sensor reading was 20%. I replaced all the beads in the AMS with this new brand/batch and after 1 day the sensor read 11%; 2 weeks later and it still reads 11%. Note, this probably isn't the actual humidity as the sensor isn't accurate below 20% but it does give me a relative indication that the humidity is much lower. I'm very pleased with these beads and will reorder these if I ever need to reorder. I don't think that will be soon as 1) 8 lbs of beads is a lot of beads and 2) these beads can be dried out in an oven set to as high as 250F and reused or in my case I use my food dehydrator set at 150F when the outside humidity levels are low.

These silica gel beads are perfect for keeping my 3D printer filament dry and ready to use. I keep a container of them inside my dry box and the color change from blue to pink makes it super easy to know when it is time to recharge. The 8 pound bag lasts a long time and works exactly as described. I have recharged them a few times already and they hold up great. If you print with materials like nylon or PETG, this is a must have. Five stars.

Great silicate. They dry well and work very well drying out printer filament. The jug is quite nice overall compared to most I have seen.

Works good!

Perfect for those 3D Printing Dry-Boxes! Great moisture removal and humidity level control! Easy identification of when they need to be dried out, and they are quite easy to reset!

Works very well for drying wood. A couple minutes in the microwave after it gets pinkish and it's blue again and ready for more

If you want great moisture at a great price then this product is for you, it changes colour to indicate how much moisture its removed and even better after its full you heat it in the oven to dry and reuse. Im using it in my filliment storage for my 3d printer

Plenty to go around

the beat are to small go true my desicant but absotion is good need more testing specialy in recharging

Works fine. Easy to recharge. Some people hate this stuff and want you to use the expensive molecular sieves but I use this stuff for all my 3D stuff (inside the filament bags, in the AMS', in spool holders etc.) and it works for me. An hour in the 250F oven is all it usually takes to recharge it. I will keep using it.

It works but I wish I had known about cobalt blue before hand. I am a little hesistant to use this now so its just sitting in my basement. Going forward I would rather the orange kind than this.
