It would be nice to have some effectiveness (drying) comparison and energy draining comparisons as well.
@ThePrintHouse Ай бұрын
I would love to do something like this, but it's so hard because not every roll absorbs the same way. From 1 manufacturer to another things change. It's just so hard to quantify how good one box it. Maybe I'll figure out how to do it though!!! :)
@MisterkeTube Ай бұрын
Sponge test or just adding a temperature and humidity sensor to the inside to measure temperature over time. Also: checking for vents! Heating moisture to evaporate doesn't help if the vapor cannot get out! You don't want fully sealed boxes during the heating - the vapor has to get out.

I just can't find a reason to buy any, lol. For almost 10 years i use fruit dryer with plastic bottle cutoff, as a lid. It's easy to stack 3-5 spools as well.
@AndyRC Ай бұрын
I have 2 dryers. The Eibos single unit dryer and the Sunlu S4. I looked at the polymaker but in Canada it was too expensive when you factor in having to buy more dry boxes. I love the S4 and the Eibos has always been dependable. If the polymaker one drops in price I may consider it.
@ThePrintHouse Ай бұрын
Yeah I totally understand that. You could use the polymaker like any other dryer and just not buy multiple storage containers. Only store the 1 or 2 rolls that are MOST important. The S4 really is a great option for drying a lot at once though
@edcgadgets-de Ай бұрын
I have the sunlu S4 and absolutely love it. I specifically bought it for the storage mode 2. For the lid handles are files out there to create a bigger handle that slides on, amazing file. I print directly from the printer with all 4 spools. It never destroyed a spool for me, I have PETG, PLA, TPU dried in there. You all can ask me any questions you have.

Same story for me. luckily no problems at all. i bought it on the kickstarter and was honestly fearful that there could be any problems as early backer. lucky me

@cidercreekranch Ай бұрын
Nice comparison. I prefer not having preset drying profiles since I find that most filament providers cannot agree on the 'proper' drying temperature and time, for a given filament type. Bambu Labs indicates that ABS should be dried at 80 C for 8 hours. While other say to dry it at 65-70°C for 6 hours.
@ThePrintHouse Ай бұрын
That's fair to say. I have struggled with that myself in the past. Usually though, I won't much matter if you dry at 45 or 50. The real problem is when you get into temps that destroy materials. As for profiles, they are preset from factory but also offer the ability for you to change and save the profile values.
@wilsistermans1118 Ай бұрын
Most filaments could be dried perfectly at 40 to 50 C (only nylon needs at least 60 C). Higher temperatures only shorten the time, but can also damage the filament. Normally I use 40 C for PLA (50 C makes it more brittle over time) and 50 C for other filaments, mainly PETG and TPU. If the humidity in a dryer is below 30% for more than two hours it is good enough to use. Again with the exception of nylon, which needs to be under 20% humidity for at least three hours.

I got the S4 for 102$ out the door on Amazon, have never used it, but for that price I figure some day I will.

You should check out the Eibos Polyphemus. It's been a great tool and can handle 2 filaments or one large 3kg spool.
@ThePrintHouse Ай бұрын
I love that!! It is absolutely my favorite dryer! Check out my other filament dryer video :) I featured it there!! :p
@heavyhemi2828 27 күн бұрын
can the Polyphemus be left on indefinately, or will it always turn off with a timer? i have the eibos Easdry, and i love it since i can just turn it on and leave it on basically forever, since i print out of it. I have a sunlu, that i can set to 99 hours, but cant keep it on forever. i stopped using it over the eibos (the eibos also can get significantly hotter, but the always on was 99% of the selling point for me.)

@MOVIEKICKS 25 күн бұрын
I hated the Eibos Polyphemus and ended up throwing away two of them last night that I bought brand new. When printing, one of the rollers doesn't turn while your printing from the Polyphemus because it's attached to a motor designed to rotate the spool while drying. The problem is the non-rotating roller causes drag on cardboard spools which creates unnecessary tension on the filament being pulled by the extruder. Furthermore it's difficult to feed the filament through the two holes in the top without pulling excess filament off the spool which then needs to be manually rewound on the spool so it doesn't get tangled. I really don't understand the positive reviews unless it's just used for drying and not for printing. Terrible design IMHO.

@@MOVIEKICKS - Well, the purpose of a filament dryer is primarily to dry filament lol. And for that task, the Eibos Polyphemus excels. I've been using the Polyphemus for over 6 months now and it's worked great. The humidity storage monitor mode that runs the heater and fan at low levels to maintain a constant dry environment is perfect for longer term storage - no other dryer has a feature like that.

It stays 10 to 20% humidity here. I have no frame of reference for people drying filament. Does filament melt or something in humid places?
@ThePrintHouse Ай бұрын
The filament will absorb moisture from the air and once it absorbs moisture it will have reduced print quality, both visually and structurally.

The water will turn to gas in the hotend and PSSSSSHHHHHHH (steam bubbles all through your print.) *causing stringing and poopies, and globbies, etc Living in tropical climate is hard for a maker. ROFLMAO
@michelleagnew8780 Ай бұрын
I’m brand new to 3 d printing and before I’m even turning on the printer I’m getting a dryer for the filament. I live in coastal Alabama in TRULY HUMID CONDITIONS. Often at 80-95 percent humidity. With or without rain. The sweat is real. The filament will definitely be affected and I’m grateful to have the input of these videos to show the features of dryers available.
@MichaelTavel Ай бұрын
@@michelleagnew8780 Some filaments are affected more than others. PLA and ASA are examples of filaments that tend to absorb less water while filaments like Nylon, PETG and TPU soak up water like a sponge. With PLA, you're probably OK just keeping your filament in a drybag or vacuum bag with some desiccant. You definitely want a dryer for the more hygroscopic ones.

Sorry, this video was a waste. Marketing features and feelings vs no real performance information. You could have simply cut a sponge in half and weighed them, the wet them and weighed them, dried and weighed again. Also could have compared after x number of hours. You could have simply run a thermometer lead and verified temps and time taken to reach. There are dozens of handles for the S4. Gotta wonder why you felt the Polymaker was so good given you don't know how it really compares to any of the others when it comes to performance. All ratings are personal.

I really wish the Polymaker wasn't so butt ugly, it is one sweet setup. I had JUST bought my Space Pi the day they announced it (cries) lol, I really love the modular design of the Polydryer i just hate how ugly it is. I hope to see printable boxes for the polydryer
