I have been working on this video in the background for months, and I barely got it together before no effort november.

@TechConnectify One of the things I love about this video is that it illustrates that a purely rational/by-the-numbers approach to matters like food does not work, and enjoyment and mouth-feel and all manners of je-ne-sais-quoi stuff is important about food.
And that you spell that out, and acknowledge that sometimes, "gut feeling" (haaa) ist just as important.
Would I rather starve than eat freeze-dried crunches? Of course not, but that isn't the point, is it?

Waiting for the video of trick or treaters trying freeze dried gummies etc.

@darryl_ramm I'm pretty sure handing those out would get me put on some kind of list

@Martinius That's a great question! I don't really know the mechanisms by which filament takes on moisture, but I don't know why it would at least reduce it.

@TechConnectify @Martinius People definitely use small domestic dehydrators to dry filament. Damp filament prints badly because the moisture boils as it’s extruded at ~200°C and ruins the finish and integrity of the print. You can tell if you have damp filament because it crackles as it prints.

@TechConnectify I considered getting one at some point for backpacking reasons but yikes yikes yikes that's wayyy too fiddly and fucky to bring into a hobby I actually enjoy
Also how cold does this thing get, can it freeze dry beer?

@lety it probably could! I don't know what the result would be like, but the chamber typically gets down to -12 f before it actually starts the vacuum pump, and you can set the initial freeze to be -10. Maybe even -20.

This reminded me of a thing Binging with Babish did with Futurama's "Bachelor Chow" a few years back.Apparently it came out pretty good, would be cool to see you try it on Connextras.

@TechConnectify You could try to add an emulsifier to the whole milk before adding water. It should help with the mixing. Soy Lecithin Powder for example.

@TechConnectify hey I’ve been looking for one of these freeze dryers for a long time. If you’re ever trying to get rid of it, I’ll buy it for what’s fair, but I wanna do a bunch of things like shrimp.
