Damn...do NOT let that woman go, no matter what! 
My wife wants me to be happy too, she just wants herself to be a little bit happier.

Hehe, I’m autistic so if it wasn’t for me learning the hard way that my wife is very sentimental, I would still be in the “Zero F’s” given category.
To be fair, my wife has to put up with me AND our two autistic children. So she deserves some pampering for all of her hard work.

Thanks, and most importantly for @rocketwiz it was printed at ludicrous (for my printer) speed!
BTW, @FriedCheese2006 I got the new Noctua fan into the dryer/holder, and MAN what a difference. The fan was a little tight fit for some reason, holding them together in my hand they felt like the same size, but the Noctua took some force to fit into the fan slot. I did peel off anything I could from the fan before trying to install it. But it works and fixes the only significant issue I had w/the unit.

I had the same issue and wager that the Noctua is a little bit on the thick side compared to the one that was in there.

Good to know it wasn't a "just-me" issue again, I have a lot of those. Thanks.
I'm thinking about buying another of the Sovol units so that I have two of my other spools ready to use quickly when I want to switch filament. Lazy, but I'd like to avoid pulling the spools in and out of the holder when I want to change filament...easier to just slide the container w/the spool(s) I want over and connect things up. Have to figure out the best color combos - thinking either Black and grey in one and red and white in the other, or Black and white and red and grey...gonna need a bigger table.

Well my spooling adventure ended in failure. The thing was way too tanagled and it wasn’t worth my time for $20.
Anyone have a desiccate suggestion? I know someone mentioned some in the past in this thread, but it was 100’s of messages ago, before I even knew filament likes low humidity.
Any that change colour and are reusable should be perfect. The Colour change just lets you Know when it’s full and needs to be baked to release the moisture.

This has to be the most overengineered thing and I absolutely love it:

Oh wow. Like a defense contractor designed it - takes a hit and keeps on feeding filament. He probably had a lot of fun designing it. 
Luckily I have both of those already.
I always do everything in node-red that I can - it is really my main home automation platform, everything else (hubitat, ZWave js, zigbee2mqtt, home assistant, etc) just exists to facilitate getting data into node-red.
I didn't realize the printer used MQTT, so thanks for the heads up!

Just a note. I think I read in that home assistant thread, that the P1P’s MQTT server functioned differently than the X1C. I think it was a different version, it might have also provided data differently as well.
I saw a reference to that after googling. I guess I'll have to poke around on it and see what I can get out of it.... 
Also posted on their forum to see what people say specific to the P1P....
EDIT:
And the MQTT data is alive!

Have a (large)Rubbermaid container to store all my spools in. Using an old pair of stockings, I filled them up with 2lbs of "Dry & Dry" color-changing beads and tossed them in. Has been working well for the past few years.
Beads can be 'reset' by tossing them in the oven/microwave.

Similar here (watertight plastic tubs used), but I use these as I thought it would be easier:

The white beads have no chemical moisture indicator and can be used to keep medicines dry. The blue contains cobalt salt as a moisture indicator and are considered carcinogen. They become pink when hydrated. The orange ones contain Methyl Violet and are less toxic. They become green when hydrated. The blue ones are banned in some countries, so I recommend you the Orange or the White, depending if you need a moisture indicator or not.
Looking at this answer from Amazon it seems like the white silica gel is the best to go with if you have some other form of humidity monitoring.
Anyone know how accurate those filament enclosure indicators are?
Or... I was thinking maybe just using a Sonoff SNZB-02.
Maybe print some sort of circular enclosure for it:
