I understand that the addition of desiccant material is the core aspect of what makes this an ERV. I don't actually see any clear explanation of how the desiccant material is added to the printed part. While the creator (open_erv2) mentions that sorbent/desiccant can be used to handle moisture ("If you have sorbent, it gets grabbed out of the air before it can condense"), they don't specify how it's incorporated into the design.

Is it added mid-print? After printing? Is it difficult to add?

I invented a process using some environmentally friendly solvents, grinding the sorbent and so on. It is not diy friendly unfortunately so there is little point in sharing the recipe.
