BreezeDry Shoe Dryer is a home-built solution designed to gently dry your shoes, boots, or other wearables using airflow, not direct heat.

Built using standard 1/2" CPVC pipe (Charlotte Pipe), an AC 120 mm blower fan, and a simple power source, this device delivers a steady stream of air directly into footwear. The curved PVC arms direct airflow into the interior of your shoes for effective moisture removal, no heat required (though it works great next to a floor vent or space heater).

Whether you're drying sneakers after a run, boots after snow, or gloves after a rainy hike, BreezeDry brings DIY practicality and a touch of style. The spiral-inspired arms even give it a delightful snail-like silhouette!

 

Parts Needed:

  • 1x 120mm blower fan (https://www.amazon.com/Blower-Zirsso-120mm-32mm-110v/dp/B0DMSRJ1FT)
  • 1x 2 ft length of 1/2" CPVC (Charlotte Pipe)—cut in half for two dryer arms
  • Optional: glue or sealant for airtight joints

 

Tools Recommended:

  • Pipe cutter or saw
  • Drill or Dremel to put air holes into CPVC pipe for air
  • Hot glue/silicone (for fan mount or sealing)

 

How It Works:

  • Insert the two arms into your shoes or boots.
  • The fan pulls air in and pushes it through the PVC arms.
  • Place it near a heat source for faster drying, or use ambient air for gentler treatment.

Print Recommendation:

  • Print using Petg filament for longer life
  • PetG or ABS if you plan to keep it outside under cover but exposed to sun and heat
