Filament Dryers
Filament Dryers
So tried out some PETG for the first time, and the first couple prints went really well. but I believe it's picked up quite a bit of moisture, sitting in the basement.
What's the current recommendation for a filament dryer? there was one on /r/3dprintingdeals a bit back, a Sunlu S2. is the S1 good enough, or should someone who's fairly recreational with everything spring for a S2? I see food dehydrators recommended sometimes, is there anything specific to look for in one?
With all the rain we've been getting the past month I'll probably need a dryer too... I heard an oven works pretty well in a pinch.
The number of photos I’ve seen of completely melted filament rolls, due to either poor oven thermostats or inattentive users … I cannot endorse this technique.
If you’re on a budget, probably better to just power up your heated bed, with a box over top, and dry your spool inside there.
Repurposed food dehydrators seem to rate highly, if you can find a used one for cheap.
I ended up biting the $40 bullet and grabbing a Filadryer S2 when it was on sale.
