@CNCKitchen has a video about a filament machine from ARTME 3D (www.artme-3d.de/). I'm interested in that sort of thing, but I don't have a good way to shred failed prints and other 3D printing waste.
The Eibos Polyphemus has a separate "humidity hold" mode that by default keeps the chamber at 20% RH. Unfortunately it doesn't switch to that mode after a drying cycle. You have to tap the power button after drying is complete. But it'll stay in "humidity hold" mode until you turn it off.
@@CrymSyN007 I got a free ofc even tho they’re cheap and designed my own pcb. Sadly the first version ran out of flash to store the code so I have to order a new pcb soon… I’m surprised 32kb wasn’t enough
I wish too... I think we just need two more steps for make 3D printing better... Ai - which will decide in real time how to print (adaptive) fast and beautiful projects + slicer which will fix any curves or another issues. Then self drying - for example Bambulab new GEN printers should consider AMS 2.0 which will dying filament in real time. I personally have an vision (I'm not designer or scientist) about invent something like reservoir between filament and hot end. Something like flow tap heating pipe. So you will have 20-30cm pipe between AMS and Hot end - which will preheat filament and dry it out before it goes to hot end. So you can use filament straight away with any moisture condition. It may extend printing time as it will do in real time but I think effects will be beautiful! Ah maybe the 3rd invention which I saw already is adaptive hot end - it will be cool to have it.
Another great video! I was watching this a week or so ago, and was struggling with a spool of Hatchbox Transparent Black PLA that was so brittle it would snap if you looked at it funny. I ordered the 2 spool version of this off Amazon , and today that same spool of filament is happily churning out prints on my Ender 3 V3 SE after about 12 hours in the drier. Amazing what a gram or two of water can do to your PLA.
Hi Bryan, I enjoyed the video but in the future I was wondering if you could look into a way to quantitatively compare filament driers as "it does dry filament" is less helpful to a buyer than "it driers filament better than this one and worse than this one" sort of thing. Thanks again!
I just brought it. What I don't like is the screen - is responding very badly. As you see when you press you actually touch the screen which is changing colour (under pressure of your finger). I just have concern it's bit fragile and after year or two I will be unable to set up anything. I understand the price is low and they done some kind of "design" but I think good step for next model will be add Bluetooth option and simple phone app.
Thanks for the video, nicely done. I have two of the space Pi dual units, they have desiccant packs in them, there's a grate you remove and it's locked under the grate. I haven't seen the single in person so I can't say if it has this feature or not, but it seems weird that it wouldn't, perhaps they noticed the mistake and added it in the dual.
I considered this but did not want another single roll dryer. And for some reason creality does not sell the double roll version yet. It's been months now since they announced that one. I ended up getting the sunlu s4 to go along with my Eibos single roll dryer. The S4 is a nice dryer. Works very well.
I’ve just purchased this one and also the 2.0 version. My thoughts on it are. Space: - larger unit - pre set temperatures for easy selection - filament port at front not suitable for example k1 unless facing other way 2.0 - Smaller - seal on the unit seems more tight - knob control easy to use - manual entry of temperatures having to revert back to paper for temperature to set
Upon further comparison the 2.0 shows the pla humidity reading at 16%, when placed into the space pi and run it shows as 26%. When running pla in both and swapping after a 4 hour window the numbers just don’t add up. I don’t think I could say which one is correct at this point
The latest dryer in a long line of dyers from China which have no consideration for venting. I don't understand how they keep making this simple-to-correct mistake.
If you can sell a device that costs 10$ to produce for 50$ to customers, thats all the incentive they need to make and sell these products. It's not about doing the best they can to dry your filament. Considering how long they were selling sub par printers to customers, where even small low cost improvements would have made a much better product, this seems to be just following the old strategy to bring a minimal viable product to marke. They will slowly sell incrementally improved versions of this, to hopefully even sell more product to the same customers again...
@@yeroca Bambu Lab has the AMS box that they are already selling. It does filament drying too. And for >300$, the profit margin is even better. I don't think they are interested to make a cut down filament box for single spools they could sell for maybe 60$ at this point.
@@ProtonOne11 Ah, I didn't know the AMS has a drying capability. Nice. You are right.. they don't have a lot of motivation to produce a stand-alone product.
The "mistake" in your opinion might not be the real mistake, 1-2 grams of water expelled from the filament over 12 hours period of time, and you think there's need for a venting fan? Particles' Brownian motion will cause the humidity to equalize.
Yes. Yes it is. I must've printed it 5 or 6 years ago. That specific set of files doesn't seem to be on Thingiverse any longer, but a search for "Lego Flower" on your favorite 3D model site should get you something similar.
I noticed in 6:58 your RH was around 38%. That's about where my Space Pi sits too, and I even have desiccant inside it. My other dry box that has a better seal can keep moisture as low as the hygrometer can go, so I'm wondering if you've noticed if it works decently as a drybox when it's not heating (keeps moisture out)?
Would have loved for someone to actually put a calibrated temperature and humidity probe in there to verify theyr sensors and make sure that the heater does not overheat the air at any point. Depending on where the sensor and heating elements are placed and how they implemented the regulation loop there might be some awful design choices hiding in that fancy looking gadget.
Creality on their website states it uses an air circulating PTC heater which sets it apart from most Pi pad filament heaters. So why is it not named the Space PTC? It’s literally named after a product that they themselves mention is not inside the product and apparently is inferior to the PTC heating element. This is the dumbest product name I’ve ever seen if what their website says is true. I was going to buy it but because of that either blatant lie either in the name itself of the description itself about what’s inside not in fact being PTC I chose a Fixdry dryer. No confusion or lies about what it’s called or what’s inside.
If you mean that drying filament is a waste a money your opinion is plain wrong (There are places where the air is dry enough for some filaments but in most places and with most printers, your print quality will improve). If you mean that dryer like this (without an extractor fan) is a waste of money compared to other dryers, it can be discussed.
@@drosendahl no I mean they're a waste of money from majority of people, people don't understand that you only need one of these if you live in one of those climates I see people buying these when they buy their first printer when they don't even need it
10 min of BLA BLA, but no any numerical data about this dryer. Minimum, just give the max temperature inside and max deviation of temperature when dryer try to keep max t.
Hi! Most of my videos have chapter markers, so you can skip over parts you don't like, and get to the parts you do. I have a feeling you spent way more than a minute to complain about something that bothered you for ...a minute.
That photo of the melted filament in an oven…I have no words.
Hi Courtney! It's one of those "What was everybody thinking?" moments in 3D printing history.
That was an actual print... The model is called, "Damnit!"
@@hanslain9729 Haha!
"Removed 1g of filament from this spool of moisture" LOL!!! dang near choked on my coffee!

Thanks! Nearly all their shirts bring a smile to my face. Not all. But most.
Does it have an extrctor fan to remove the warm moist air?
Hi Andrew. Sadly, no, it does not.
Mine just arrived today and I love it! The power-on and off animations are subtle yet very satisfying, feels like Tony Stark powering on his workshop!
I think so too. I couldn't help but smile when I pressed the power button on the screen the first time.
You need to open the PTFE tube plug to let the moisture out. It's the most ignored part of this dryer..
Thanks for that tip! 👍
Thanks Bryan.

I bought the two-roll version.
She is very loud.
I think I will replace the fan with an NN one.
Did you try testing them against your conventional food dryers? I have one of those and outside of noise… they do very good!
Why can’t anyone make something that works better than just a food dehydrator? These fancy products are more like incubators than dryers. 🙄
I feel like we need a hotter dryer for PA-CF. 70° is barely adequate.
Hi, tell us about the bags that you use and are comfortable with. Thank you very much

Could you do a review of the creality Space pi plus (2 spool version)?
How do we still not have filament driers with air flow to vent the humid air out is beyond me
Can you make popcorn in it? That would be cool.

That's 1 cubic centimeter of water removed... that's a nice result.
Yeah! In previous videos about filament dryers, I have actually printed cubic centimeters as a visualization tool.
Good review. Felt you pulled your punches a bit but it was informative.
One more upvote the infinite pi.
Yum!
Too bad it didn't have a run-out sensor. I'm sure there would have been a hilarious joke about it. :)
