The Sunlu Dryer S1 is perfect for consumers, artists, and designers. It is an integrated solution for drying 3D printing filament and keeping it dry while printing, which can improve print quality and increase the fun of 3D printers.

By reducing moisture in your filament your 3D printing quality will increase dramatically.

In Australia moisture in the room and even when filament comes sealed in a bag sits between 25-50% humidity. With a Heater box at 40-55 degrees, you can reduce this down to 8-15% and see vast improvements in printing quality.

Most 3D printing filament easily absorbs moisture from the air. And when the moisture content in the filament increases, the print quality decreases, and can even cause prints to fail!

  I have one, as I backed the kick starter.

  Highly recommended.

  I bake my pla+ at the default 50 degrees for 4-5 hours on new spools.

    I've seen the kickstarter comments and retail sourcing might actually be the way.

    Have you noticed any visible improvements in the print quality?
    Some of the comments in there claim that it doesn't actually dehydrate their desiccant balls?

    …I need to stop using my oven to rescue soggy rolls.

      It will improve on print quality if your filament has been out in the humidity for a few days/weeks.

      Leaving filament out in the the environment makes it absorb moisture. It will become brittle which will either cause it to break or have random bubble on your product.

      Also for new filament, you can't guarantee they had a controlled environment when they manufactured it. My brand new pla+ from 3Dfillies was brittle and broke,
      I then chucked it into the this dryer and haven't had a problem since.

        It also suggest storing your filament in a box with a moisture absorber:

        Normal humidity is around 55% here in Melbourne, it drops to 18% in my diy box.

          @Ausdave: Thanks for the advice.

          Yeah, I've been using a similar sealed box with desiccant to store my rolls, but there's always that occasional new roll that just shows up with bad water damage in a few spots.
