Thanks for the review. I loved the Tissue demonstration. It physically shows the air movement, vs other reviews that just talk about it. This video definitely swung my decision to purchase the Creality Official Space Pi Filament Dryer Plus. Only difference is the plus holds two rolls for two printers. Great Job.
On another youtube channel, someone found that there's a model of Ninja air fryer that has a dehydrator mode. Its "fry bay" very perfectly holds a single spool of filament, almost like it was planned for that usage. They said you can find a model of it at walmart for $60. I'd be interested to see how it compares in dry time. One advantage is that the currently available filament dryers struggle to get past 70C, while some fancier filaments neeed 100C to dry properly. The Ninja would have no problem getting up to 100C.
The fan of the Sunlu is built into the base and runs very solwly. The purpose seems to be to cool just the electronics on the front. Maybe they had problems with controller failures in the past.
Against the recommendation of this video I’ve ordered the S2 and now I‘m tortured by the terrible highpitched fan. The efficiency of the S2 seems to be also very low after my measurements. 2g after 11h reduction in weight is almost not worth mentioning. What I now will discover is the noise of the SpacePi when I get it delivered… really amazing that nowadays the fan noise is that underestimated.
Until nearly 4 minutes in, every time he says Sunlu, i hear Sunmoo... After that he emphasizes L. Also the fan in the Sunlu is sealed in a compartment on the bottom to cool the electronics. It does zero to help remove moisture it circulate the air in the drying compartment.

I would be a lot more interested in the sound level with the covers closed. My Creality is much more quiet with the cover closed.
Thanks! Awesome comparison. Wish the pi was more quiet.
I got the Creality Pi, have been using it for a month to dry PLA, PETG and TPU. Seems to work fine, a little loud though.
