Use Heated Bed as Filament Dryer
Hi,
i thought, maybe i can use my 3D Printer with the Heated Bed as a filament dryer. In our 3D Printers we already have a controllable heat source, why use a extra box or so....
Only thing is: how can i control how long the Heated Bed heats?

Is G4 the right G-Code?
e.g.:
M140 S55 //Set Bed to 55 °C
G4 S21600 // Wait 6 hours
M140 S0 //Turn off
Is this a possible solution? Can the G4 Code wait that long?

And you need some box around filament so heat stays inside but also have some air holes so humidity can escape.
