If you didn't see a difference, your filament hasn't absorbed moisture. It pops and crackles when wet and is really stringy.
I know this was 2 years ago, but would it cause it not to stick to the bed? My uncle gave me a shitload of pla bc he only prints petg now, and I tried to use some overture white pla filament he gave me (it has been used a bit) and I could not get it to have good bed adhesion. I opened a fresh spool that he gave me of the same brand, same filament but black and it works fine no issues with adhesion.
Just got mine and great results , i was really having trouble with nylon , now its good.
Thx for making this and the filadry video. I was going to buy the filadry because i wanted a compact solution but now it looks like im getting this one instead.
I bought one because of this video. Thank you.
Hey ModBot, I live in Durban in South Africa and it is very humid here, especially in summer. Thanks for this video, very helpful, I have been wanting to get something to dry filament, so i will look into the SUNLU FilaDryer. Thanks again, keep up the amazing work. Nice to see your channel growing because you give GREAT reviews, keep up the great work.
Hello there FusionSource did you ever manage to get one of these ? I am also in SA in the eastern cape Port Alfred and I just looked at their site and its still out of stock
A dry box of some kind really should at least be standard for all printers for all filament types. Great review!
Agreed! Thank you 🙏
Thanks for your review!!
In this video, you can learn more about SUNLU Filament Dryer.
And Filament Dryer is going to debuts Kickstarter Campaign from 20th July to 20th August. The earlier you pledge, the more surprise you will get!
Can this run continuously?
@modbot just wanted to let you know I just received my FilaDryer and it actually has pretty good bearings. I think they listened to you!
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Xavier Leandro instablaster :)
@Carmelo Lukas thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I found the same thing with the rollers and the display. Thanks!
I think the problem with your 3 different drying videos is that the “wet” print is too good. You clearly have a very minimal issue with moisture, so you are not going to see the issues that many others experience.
Soak some nylon in a bucket of water for a week. Towel dry 10 yards or so and then run your tests. If you still get great prints, all you have proved is that even the water in California is dry!
Yeah I wonder about that too. For me damp PLA simply fails. Even if I get a print half done and then swap filamnets it won't adhere to the previous layers and fails
I just got the current (european) version of the FilaDryer S1. The sides only had the sponge rubber coating and the rolers are mounted to better bearings.
just got mine, albeit under the Jayo name, but it has a Sunlu sticker on the bottom of the unit. I modded mine with the guide I found here on youtube. I did tweak it though. The video shows running the fan that was installed off the power input (soldering the leads straight to it). However, that means if the unit is plugged in, the fan runs regardless. I soldered the fan leads into the red plug that goes to the heating element. Fan runs when heating, not when plugged in. Much better that way. About to put a roll of Duramic PETG in it and see how it does. Just need to break out my scale that will read small gram increments and see if I can get an accurate run. Seems like a well made unit though
I got it through Kickstarter and it came to about $60 can including shipping I just haven't had a chance to test it out but first use will be with my tungsten pls that I've had for a couple years which my cr10 doesn't like but works great with my monoprice select mini
It works for me.😉👍
Great review!
Those rollers are super bogus!!!!
depends on your nylon, from my favorite manufacturer for example, nylon6 really does need a dry box, but nylon12 you can just have it out like PLA
living in florida one of these is a godsend, trust me, the humidity here kills filament, ive had filament break like uncooked noodles if i leave it out for over a week
I dry mine in a food dehydrator, and use my Sunlu to keep the spool I'm using dry.
Looking at the dryer, I am a little confused, there is a heater to get the remove the water from the filament but I do not see a fan to remove the humidity from the box. Once the box is moisture-rich removing more from the filament should be difficult. Once the heating stops the moisture should be reabsorbed by the filament.
hot air holds more water. when the air is heated in the machine, the water moves from inside the filament in to the air.
@@shaerodenaizen4375 he was saying that there is nowhere for the air to go. So if you turned on the machine to dry it, and just left it in there once dry, it would get wet again.
@@knifeyonline it escapes out of the hole that filament feeds out of.
There are 2 with 1 plug.
I have this model and works great.
Kept Taulman 230 nylon in a ziploc 1 gallon bag with the desiccant it came with for a few months. Printed, had very poor layer adhesion and brittle. Could crush easily.
Dried for 5 hours at 55c in this, left in dryer while printing, printed perfectly again!
Because it don t work. Don t trust reiewers nowadays, they are payed, you can search and find everyone disappointed.
@@timd9430 Do you still like this heater? Do you recommend it?
I bake my filaments in a 1000 watt stainless convection food dehydrator for 24 hours, before sealing them in an airtight box. When I am ready to print, I add them to my Sunlu. I don't expect the Sunlu to actually dry my filaments, but it will keep them dry while I am printing. Make sure you turn the Sunlu on and let it warm before adding your filament.
not very cost effective
I just got mine recently but mine doesn't have the reflective foil over the insulation foam. Did they change or did I get a misbuilt dryer?
at 49.00 on kickstarter great deal. unfortunately its 70.00 now on the website. i would have bought one or two even at 49.00 but at 70 its a tough sell when a food dehydrator is 35 bucks on amazon imo
because no air flow, you may have at max a 20% humidity less and that explain the little difference.. a solution is to open the drier few times during the process for to change the air (like those who’s use a oven to dry something, they need to open it few times for humidity evacuation).. a tungsten bulb of 60w in a box was my first drying unit!
I also bought this product but I lost the white cap for the one hole does it make a difference
what printer do you use the most
Can confirm in Tennessee nylon drinks up the humidity. Your "wet" prints quality wouldn't be possible here without the filament dryer
What temperature do you use?
How about JAYO filament dryer box? Have you ever tested or heard it?
They looks so similar..... And i was told that JAYO is the sub-brand of SUNLU, same quality. Still not very sure about it and want to learn it more.
So this is a Kickstarter and is not even available yet for purchase? On the website is says a July 20th launch on Kickstarter.
The title and conclusion of the video don't really fit the observed behaviour of the prints. The findings where pretty much: "No real difference". How do you get from that to "Simple Yet Effective Filament Drying"?
because youtube reviewer
and this is why we need the dislikes.
do you need this when you only use PLA and ABS ?
here in las vegas that is so dry that my pla filament go brittle if you set it open for awhile I might try this since all my filaments is sunlu brand
Brittle pla is actually a sign of wet filament.
How did you do to print nylon in genius printer with out enclouser ??
Press print 😂
Hmmm nice review. I didn’t know you could print nylon without an enclosure. 🤔
You shouldn't unless you want to screw up your lungs breathing in toxic fumes.
Do you need to use this with PLA or PLA + ???
i need to with my pla+ i havent used my printer in weeks because of it
Hey! The eBay description for this unit includes a built in scale to check the spool weight. How come this was not mentioned? :)
It was either a lie or you're confusing two different dryers. There is a dryer that comes with a scale. This one does not. You're thinking about the Sainsmart Dryer.
@@stevefranklin1042 LOL YES! It was only later I realised there were different models. Sorry. I liked the review and will go to the simple one you reviewed. Thanks
@@petervincent4002 Yessir. You're welcome.
Nice box....2 hrs after video the box is sold out in every country. Hmmm. So much for buying from your affiliated link.
No affiliate link :) at least not currently! Hopefully they resupply soon.
That SUNLU webpage has a real problem. There's a pop-up chat window that consumes nearly half of the page and there is no way to dismiss it. It's nearly impossible to read about the products.
Maybe the difference is little because 50C is way to low, I've seen people drying nylon at 70c or 80c
Is this dryer equipped with Hygometer and Moisture meter?.. what is the recommended humidity and moisture level of the filament?
It only has a thermometer and a time-off clock. But this might be the only thing you need.
Who knows the stl for the lamp in background
All 3d printer filaments absorb moisture. Even PLA.
i want discount
Extra thumbs up for the shirt. #SlothsRule
Sloths are awesome 😬
Ha. A couple of friends call me sloth
humidity is around 70-100% here 🤣 even pla gets really wet fast
Personally I think its over priced for what it is but that's just my opinion. You can make your own dry box for far less money. Grab a plastic container from local hardware store (Lowes, Home Depot, et.,) that has a sealed lid and throw in some dessicant, 3D print a bar/tube to act as a roller and place the filament on it and cut a small hole in container and use a short piece of filament tubing to run the filament out of it and viola! Got a home made dry box for far less money. If they can get this product down to about $25 or less then it would be much more compelling to buy. Again just my opinion.
Dessicant is not good. My filament was still wet. If you live in an area where humidity is 70+% then silica gel or dessicant is useless. You need heat and convection
awesome review! btw its hygroscopic, not hydroscopic.
Currently sold out
Yeah they were sold out a few days ago as well. Hoping they get US stock soon
It's too pricey for what it does. If it could be set to run for lets say 6 hours every other day, yes it would be good. For even less, a maker can get a cheap dehydrator and for extra $20 a tp-link smart plug switch. Now set that knob to the temp (60C for PLA) and set the smart plug to run 6h. In Florida in a garage, PLA gets wet in days.
my dry box has a brighter light
The damn spool keeps getting stuck.
Please don't make an apology for a product that shows a good clear display but ships something cheaper.
I am not sure if you are aware but Sunlu is not delivering
on their kickstarter promise, they have taken our money and are coming
up with excuses why they will not ship the item. In addition they have
been selling this item direct without fulfilling kickstarter orders.
What can you do do influence this situation as there are over 2500
backers that are being cheated?
? They are selling this on amazon..
little more time on the menu would have been nice, more machine demo, less your bearded mug?
FIRST!!!
Damb
printing nylon in a Stock artillery genius? Fake.
Why?
It has something like 500w ac heated bed
Because you need a higher temperature than the ptfe in thw bore heatbreak can support
Is there a fan to circulate the air?
no fan == no sell.
Update: The PCB actually contains a location for a FAN connector. However Sunlu CRIPPLED the PCB by leaving the "nickel's worth" of surface mount components out.
