I've been using the magic mill MFD 7700 for drying my filament and it's been great. I also have a polymaker polydryer I keep near my A1 Mini. I really like the drybox the polydryer comes with. That one uses a bowden tube as well, but I always cut those down so they're not so long. Only a few cm is needed really. I only print in PLA, PETG and TPU; PETG and TPU get dried fresh out of the package and then stored in a sterilite gasket box with desiccant when I'm not printing with them. PLA I dry if it becomes brittle. I've seen this happen most often with PLA+. I do like how compact the Nt1 is, but it has the same problem a lot of these dryers have: hot spots. This one blows air directly on the filament, which can cause it to warp/melt. This has been mentioned in a few other reviews. I'm also not a fan of the lid. The magic mill food dehydrator and polydryer don't have these issues. Honestly, the food dehydrator is still my favorite. It moves more air, is quiet (way bigger fan so it doesn't need to spin as fast), gets plenty hot and has plenty of ventilation. Reviews of any kind are appreciated, but please don't be afraid to point out flaws of the products you review. It puts your integrity into question if every product receives a positive review, especially those that have been reviewed and felt lacking by others.
