I made mine from a plastic storage box. It sits on a shelf above the printer. Has some printed boxes that contain silica gel. Keeps the inside of the box below the outside RH but won’t take it down much below 40RH. The silica gel needs drying out in the microwave form time to time.

The digital readout for RH is obtainable from the usual sources. The boxes are nothing special just printed from PETG, the lids are perforated. Don’t put the boxes in the microwave though they get hot enough to deform. The reels sit on printed stands with ball bearins cliped in to allow easy rotation. The filaments are fed out through suitable brass connectors and PTFE tube used for air-lines.

You can find a bit more info from my website Journeyman’s Workshop half way down the page.

I use one of these:

Amazon food drier

Had the advantage of going to a higher temperature than the filament drier options available at the time I bought it – useful for drying nylon.

That looks suspiciously like an actual print dryer that I bought some years ago:
