3/07/2024- Just a heads up they're exchanging the filament dryer. No clue at this point if its a design issue or something wrong with mine. But this is what im being told.
"This is judged to be a quality problem. Please contact after-sales service for a replacement. We will see if there is a way to get the defective machine back. We will see if it works.
If the machine has been turned on for a long time and the humidity reaches 15% as soon as it is turned on, it can be basically judged that there is a problem with the hardware of the machine itself."
FWIW, my new one (got from Amazon a day ago) shows what appears to be reasonable and correct humidity. It also has a small hole in top of the clear part of the lid, presumably for humidity to escape ( I have a filament tube in the opening made for that).
Hi, ı have the same exact issue, my creality space pi stay at 15% humidity.
Update. Creality Is sending me a replacement unit. Hopefully the next one works better? or even works at all?
At least they've sorted you out, I'm keen on your update on the new one.
Mine works great
I dont have this problem. Interesting.
intresting not having that issue would like to know more
Thats a bit crazy. Maybe you should try reaching out to Creality Support and see what's going on with it. It could be a bad thermistor?
Thermistor is what senses temp. a humidity sensor is what the issue is. I think its a design issue. i have a odd feeling that those slits are whats causing the issue. I did contact them and working with them on the issue. I have already verified someone els is having the issue.
any update?@@CarsN3dPrinting
I reached out to them. "they will look into it"
@@CarsN3dPrinting great 😂, i bought one today but it wont be available till end of may, we can probably just move the sensor, and tbh, the sensor doesnt mean shit anyway, it shows the relative hum for the air, not the filament, so just put it in the amount of time required + 2H
@@Gagliano17 I understand its the relitive humidity in the chamber but that still repersents whats being released off the filament. 2 hours is a good start but Im not gonna belive or waste energy when it could dry faster. This is also a factor if you live in more humid state which means its gonna take even longer to dry. you cant move the sensore. its soildered to the board. I mean you can move it but whats the point for something you paid for that doesnt work. If you wanna throw your money at something that doesnt fully work go ahead. I dont belive in that moto.
Can you drill holes on top?
Funny enough I thought about it.
turn it sideways du
the humididty sensors on the bottom of the unit so it would have to be upside down.
I work with temperature/humidity sensors all the time.
Most of my projects use them and in fact, I just bought more stock.
With the kind of airflow this box has, it shouldn't matter where the sensor is as long as internal air is flowing over/through it.
I'd love to have a "broken" one of these so that I could disassemble it to see what's going on inside. Especially with airflow and mostly, which sensor they are using.
They could be using a really cheap one that easily breaks down.
Even the better ones can start to degrade where humidity sensing is concerned.
This is why, in all my projects, I have an option to "calibrate" the sensors.
I suspect that there's not enough airflow over this particular sensor and/or that the sensor has gone non-sensitive, which would explain why, when he blew right on it, it then responded.
However, if the sensor is not defective, breathing on it should send it up into the high 80% and even into the 90% range. I test mine like that all the time and when they are working, the results are consistent.
@@BlondieSL If creality send me a new one I will send it to you if you pay for the shipping. Im waiting to hear back from them to see whats the next step. its good to know and makes sense even with air moving around that it should still see ambient humidity. i figured being in the center away from fast moving air would get better results.
@@CarsN3dPrinting That is a very kind offer.
But with the price of shipping and where I am right now, it would cost more than the device. LOL
As I have a food dehydrator, I think I'll make a project to modify it and turn it into a smart dryer.
It sucks a lot of power (350 Watts) so I think I'd replace their standard element with one of those 12V high efficiency ones.
While we do keep out house humid, so far, I haven't had too many issues with my filament.
Again, thanks for that offer. Very kind for sure.
jesus :) just swap to a new unit. its defect
