Thank you so much for putting this on my radar! I've been in the market for a 2-spool dryer for some time, and now that this is on halloween sale ($59) it felt like the right product ant time for me!
Why it doesn't have any stands? It would help with overheating of surface where it standing. Also, a question - how much time does fan goes when you stop heating from max temp manually? It show if it power shutdown-friendly.
Hello, thank you for the review.. I would have liked to hear about how well the filament pulls out of it.. the holes for it seems like they are at the wrong angle and I have heard other say it binds.. you didnt really show how easily/or not the filament pulls out or whether or not the angle is off in the video.. any thoughts on all of that is appreciated.. I wanted to stick some of these behind my bambu ams lite units to feed matte pla into them and there cant be too much binding.. thank you..
Not sure if this is common but for my unit when I have the filament in as storage (without silica gel) it sits around 15% humidity but when I dry the filament (again with out silica gel) it actually goes up to 23%. Not sure if this is an issue or if this just means I have to dry my filament for a longer period of time.
That is interesting. Relative humidity changes with temperature. Higher temperatures mean the air can hold onto more moisture, but generally that means the RH should decrease, not increase. I don't know if this units sensor would account for that though.
I tried looking for a specific problem for the s4, but only found a post about printed PLA spools deforming when drying. Is that the overheating issue you were referring to? I didn't experience any overheating, no damage were shown on my tests, and my thermal camera tests showed pretty accurate temperatures on the spools over the fan.
I am going to pass on this one. It's very concerning me the surface gets that hot and this unit is 20db louder than other units. I will buy the polymaker polydryer instead.
Good review and like the tests. Read that someone had put feet under the dryer to prevent hot surface issues.

I just bought one and now I have to learn how to use it.
Awesome test and looking forward to buy one, thanks!
Max spool height? I have 205mm spools

Great review, I just ordered one!
Great tests man!

Heating the filament pulls the moisture out into the air so the humidity goes up in the enclosure.
Does this run into any of the same overheating issues from the S4?

@@HoffmanEngineering Right on! I'm sure a few extended feet might not be a bad idea to print for the bottom getting so hot!

You can print some feet for under the dryer. Hot surface problem solved.
it heats the table to 140F?! that seems like a design flaw.
Yeah, the surface below does get quite warm.
It may be time to invest in a pop filter for your microphone.
