I can highly recommend "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline.

I recently bought myself a vacuum chamber for a couple of upcoming projects. Since it can boil water at room temperature in around a minute, I wondered if it can also be used to dry 3D printing filament. For this reason I ran a huge test over several months to find out, which methods work to dry filament. I investigated vacuum drying, a food dehydrator, a circulation oven, a huge amount of desiccant, and a couple of combinations. Let me show you what worked and what didn't!
