Hi everybody? I live in Norway and I find it really difficult to buy color changing silica gel balls here. I want to use it to keep and control better my filament rolls while they are stored and also to the AMS on my Bambu X1C. The only alternative I found is on Aliexpress, just a 500gr bottle. I was wondering if anybody else out there has any better alternative.
you can get 3x500g calcium chloride bags from Jula for 100,-, they desiccate 7 times more than silica, but can’t be dried out.
there’s also 1kg bentonite bags, which can be easily dried.
just search up «fuktfjerner» at jula.no
China or local reseller of China products. Pricing should be 5-8€/kg for the domestic reseller.
Don’t buy blue stuff. Buy orange gel.
Reason: Blue is the old stuff with a Cobalt-based colour indicator (CoCl2). The common indicator for orange gel is also causing cancer but not as bad as CoCl2 (technically it is suspected for the orange stuff. In reality it is just a question of time before they go from suspected/likely to they do).
Some cat litter fillers are made from silica gel. You can buy it in a pet store.
Yeah, I got one of those, but I was looking for the reusable ones that change color from orange to green. Thank you anyway
I believe this stuff absorbs more moisture than silica balls.
I bought a 2lbs container of it off Amazon.
thank you! I compared prices between Amazon and Aliexpress and it was actually cheaper on Amazon, so I went for 2kg of the orange changing color one (I’ll use it also around the house)
