Chose the R3 because of size and the ability to move the camera module (hack). Video quality is quite reasonable. Had a couple shut down on the pad due to thermal issues (in the sun) so I am starting to manage that better. Nothing loaded to the web for viewing yet.

Would it be possible to have the reel permanently in the dehydrator and just feed the filament out through a hole? That could add a convenience factor.
This is pretty close, especially if you add a desiccant packet:
it out onto the one of the four 54mm tubes I'm using. Turned out looking phallic LOL but should be functional. applied a thin coat of silicon on the face that will be against the tube, let it dry, now I have a nice anti-skid surface, man does it ever stick well. Of course I will be using either electrical tape or painters tape to secure it. Anxious to see how will it will work.
I think we understand that it won't dehydrate filament that has already absorbed moisture, but it seems to me the best solution is to prevent that in the first place. So a filament container with a desiccant pack seems to be a pretty decent way to avoid issues. I use a large ammo dry box with desiccant packs for storage but being able to feed from the storage box itself is a pretty handy feature.
