    Only goes up to 50C, so it's not the most versatile of options. Maybe okay for PETG, but I find that casual printing goes through PETG fast enough that additional drying is rarely needed. If I am not going to print for a while, I can just use a ziploc+silica.

    My PLA used to snap all the time until I started using a filament dryer before printing. If I leave the spool on the holder for a few days, it would snap when I print. I store the filament in a ziplock bag with silica gel between prints but it still snaps after a few months idling, so maybe my bag is leaky or QLD is just too humid. Or maybe my PLA just sucks…

    That looks like a good price. My single-reel Sunlu was around the same price.

      might be time for a different filament supplier/brand?

        Nah QLD especially id fully expect the filament to pull water in with a few days. Wet filament is brittle no matter the brand. Even in Perth i have this issue from time to time. I just redry and keep going.

        • Minimum-Chips on 31/01/2024 - 19:45

          Ah, the humidity makes total sense.
          Been quite humid in Melb this Summer, can relate (to a degree)

    • rumblytangara on 31/01/2024 - 19:26

      I suspect it could be an iffy brand kinda situation here. I used to live in 80-85% humidity (probably similar to QLD) and PLA would last weeks just sitting out. Generally eSun PLA+ which is a bit less brittle than most PLA, as well as Polymaker (Polylite + Polyterra).

      I did use a dry box for stuff that was going to sit around for months, but wasn't really careful about it.

      Twice I've noticed wet PLA- one roll was bad out of the bag, and I pulled out some PLA last week to do cold pulls- it bubbles through the nozzle now, so it's definitely waterlogged. But it's also been sitting in a drawer for 6-9 months by now.

    Filament dryers are literally rebadged food dehydrators (nice ones add spool holders of course), so it's worth looking into appropriately sized cheap food dehydrators if in the market for filament dryers.

    • beefsandwich on 31/01/2024 - 18:51

      Hah i was just reading the OP and wondering if my recently bought dehydrator would do the job. And yes, it does.

      Only downside of this is you can't print straight out of a food dehydrator :/

        If you have a 3d printer, you can make it so

    • mickeyjuiceman on 31/01/2024 - 20:02

      Yes, it literally looks like a rebadged food dehydrator, for sure

        Yes, it literally looks like a rebadged food dehydrator, for sure

        It actually has rollers on the inside for filament rolls to roll easily so you can print from it, so it isn't actually a food dehydrator. You could just add rollers to a food dehydrator, although $58 isn't too bad for a purpose-built dryer that's just the right size for two reels.

        BTW if you want to see blatant rebadging, check this out.

          so it isn't actually a food dehydrator.

          Yes, that was the point…

            @mickeyjuiceman: I was just saying it isn't simply a rebadged food dehydrator. Rebadging means the company buys a literal food dehydrator and puts their brand on it, like that cereal container I linked. This was designed from the start as a filament dryer hence the filament-specific features on it.

          "can not only store 3D printer filament but store food, grain, rice, nuts, beans, snacks, etc. It is a practical tool for kitchen and pantry organization"

          The audacity! 😆

      Bought a basic Kogan tray-style food dehydrator instead of a filament drier and sounds it does better than some of these dehydrators. Good temp range and an actual proper sized fan. Has a small gap in the door that I've set up a mini lazy susan/turntable and can print with it on now too.

    Very handy, rather than tossing a troublesome filament. I have a bambu p1s, and this has saved a few rolls.

  • bob98 on 13/02/2024 - 08:26

    anyone else receive theirs and think its a POS? gonna return this and get the S4
