My first impressions of the Polymaker PolyDryer! Brand new MODULAR filament storage/drying system!

In today's video, we take a look at the brand new PolyDryer Filament dryer and storage box from ‪@Polymaker‬ !
There are some neat features of this product, including a modular heating element that can swap to different storage boxes instantly but does this filament dryer succeed in performance as well as it design aesthetic? We will take a look at my first impressions of this machines as I got to try it out for a few weeks since receiving the devices.

NOTE: Polymaker sent us the Polydryer and PolyDryer storage box for myself to take a look at. All they are asking for in return is some feedback on the product to aid in future product development and production. No compensation was received and Polymaker is not sponsoring this video so I am able to gie my unbiased thoughts and opinions. Thank you again to Polymaker for reaching out and sending the Polydryer over for us to take a look at!

Do you dry your filament? Be honest!

[@fatboy1271]

Never have, but I really really need one of these right now!!!

[@B1GJano]

There is currently stock over at West 3D!

[@TheBabyBunk]

Only when needed

So the timer just sets off an audible alarm but does not switch the heater off? This box seems to be the best of a bad lot, but I wish someone would do it properly! Heating filament in a closed box will not dry it. I suspect all these systems rely on you opening the box while is is still warm to vent off the damp, wet air. If you let it cool down before opening, the moisture will just condense again on the filament (although maybe it relies on the desiccant to absorb it, in which case heating the air is pointless and it would be just as effective to circulate cold air). What it needs is separate exhaust and circulation fans and a controller that heats the air with just the circulation fan running, then stops the fan and heater and runs the exhaust fan to change the warm, wet air for cold dry air from outside, then repeats. It could also have a weight sensor on the spool. When the weight stops reducing you have removed all the water possible and the controller can shut the box off altogether to avoid wasting energy. I may have to buy one of these when they are available again and modify it to do the job properly!
