3D Genius - The Best Budget 3D Printer Filament Dryer

3D printer filament and moisture do not mix well. Resulting in imperfect print quality that most new 3D printing enthusiasts can't put their finger on.
The tell-tale signs of wet filament are bubbling, popping filament that oozes out of the hotend and prevents successful prints.
Whether that be through layer adhesion issues, dimensional inaccuracies, inconsistent extrusion, discoloration or by being brittle, if you don't even make it as far as printing.
Some filaments are more prone to being affected by drawing moisture out of the air and into the material; this is just their hygroscopic nature.
To remedy this, a good filament drying solution should be put in place but the question is; Do you need to pay good money to receive good performance?
With both Comgrow and Sovol units averaging around $40, they both do well enough for low temperature filaments (PLA, PLA+,PETG) but what about everything else?
You might just be starting out and have thought about investing in a filament dryer to make sure your printable materials, well, print...but have you been considering an option that will progress with you, allowing you to dry higher temperature filaments down the line?
Even so, you might be questioning how a single spool dryer can outperform another option that can hold two at a time.
I explain how this is possible with the benefits, downfalls and personal experience covering everything from unboxing to sharing my own transparent results.

If you plan to store your filaments after use, there are a variety of vacuum sealable bags to act as a barrier to humidity. This prevents additional drying time and gets you back up and printing quickly as opposed to storing them in the open air.
Check out the link below for the storage bags (comes with a pump, humidity indicators and silica gel packets) that I use but feel free to check around to see what works best for you:

As always, happy (dry filament) printing! See you in the next one!

Worked great for a couple of months. Then died. Back to my reliable diy food dehydrator dryer

[@CovenantCustom]

@ThisisDD I look forward to running it for some time. Will be interesting to see how it does. They have a 12 month warranty so I'd have them replace it if I was you!

Been running mine for close to a year now, no issues. Its main downfall is how noisy it is.

[@CovenantCustom]

@tylerandalexlacey5558 Nice to know that yours is still going strong! Noise I can work with.

[@ThisisDD]

@@CovenantCustomgood to know. I will have to pursue that

Yet another Sunlu ripoff....

[@CovenantCustom]

I used the Sunlu Filadryer S1 that I backed off Kickstarter and it did well with low temp filaments while I had it (Sold a machine to someone new to 3D printing and included enough extras for the life of the printer, including that dryer).
The S2 is another option (typically going for $15 more) but with the 3D Genius selling for $30, the performance, dollar for dollar, can not be matched by anything else at that price.
This is why it takes the win for being the best budget, filament specific dryer from my experience.
