It would be nice to have some effectiveness (drying) comparison and energy draining comparisons as well.
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!!! :)
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.
Guys, let admit. Fur such simple thing as one spool dryer creality is the best. Integrated power supply. Best design, have fan. So dry out faster. Polymaker advantage is its modularity... And spool holder in middle. But for such price, im fine with using clothes vacuum bags....
Maybe if you'd used the humidity cutoff feature of the S4 your PETG would not have melted? Seriously I'm surprised that all the machines with humidity measurement do not do this since it would save energy quite apart from being easier on the filament!
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.
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
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
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’ve been wanting to get a poly dryer but man they’ve been out of stock from the moment I found out about it. Still out of stock 😑
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.
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.
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.
Wish I could actually buy the Polydryer... its been sold out since i've known about it.
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?
The filament will absorb moisture from the air and once it absorbs moisture it will have reduced print quality, both visually and structurally.
@@ThePrintHouse So it's like bread, how you have to keep it in a breadbox or it gets too hard to cut after a couple days.
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
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.
@@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.
You should check out the Eibos Polyphemus. It's been a great tool and can handle 2 filaments or one large 3kg spool.
I love that!! It is absolutely my favorite dryer! Check out my other filament dryer video :) I featured it there!! :p
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.)
@@heavyhemi2828 it has an infinite mode. I would not recommend leaving the turn motor on though
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.
Polydryer is sold out and not available from other vendors in Canada…
has been for several weeks, sadly..... :/
I know! I wish it wasnt because it is my favorite, but I couldnt delay the video any longer! Wait for it!!!! :D
Should be back by mid/end of June
god i hate the sunlu and dryers with interfaces on their sides,
the 2-spool Space Pi is only $89.99 on Amazon, why do people even shop Ali Express?
Cause sometimes you can get stuff cheaper
AliExpress is often cheaper than Amazon or locally, especially if there is a sale or you have coupons, but you do need to shop around and compare prices, as some sellers will put a ridiculous price. Also it is available worldwide, in many places Amazon isn't
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
