While it may be 3d-printed, this device isn’t quite in the realm of DIY yet thanks to needing some kinda-exotic metal oxide framework (MOF) materials.

I feel like if you wanted to do something that achieved a similar effect at home you could make good use of peltier devices.
Something like a solar panel to provide energy and peltier devices with radiating fins on them, with the cool side down so that all of the moisture that the cool side accumulated could drip off into a collector of some sort. I don’t think it would achieve this level of effectiveness, but I’m willing to bet you could get something working relatively inexpensively.
Once you add electricity into the mix there are a lot of options, though a peltier is so inefficient at what it does that you’d be better off using the electricity to power a refrigeration loop to “dehumidify” the air the old-fashioned way.
