This is a valid point for anyone who prints largely with PLA. And if that's all you use then you wont need a dryer. The biggest reason to use a dryer is for hygroscopic plastics like TPU, PA, PVA, PC, and PETG to some extent. PA absorbs moisture so quickly from the environment that it is necessary to dry it before printing. Other plastics like PC, TPU, and PETG absorb moisture from the environment and a much slower rate meaning that you can usually get away without a filament dryer if you use them up within a reasonable time period. PLA is it's own animal. Now there are so many blends that each type/brand can behave differently. I've used 3 year old Sunlu filament that was stored in open air without any issues but some pure OG PLA from Hatchbox or Monoprice turns so brittle that it is literally impossible to print with because it snaps as the extruder pulls it in. In that case a filament dryer *can* sometimes recover a brittle roll. You can also use your home oven to do basically the same thing if your careful with temperatures but it's definitely more tricky getting just the right temp for an extended period of time on the ovens I've used. A filament dryer simplifies the process.

Depends on where you live/how humid it is, and what type of filament you're using.
If your area is relatively dry, and you only print PLA, maybe you don't need one.
Add in PETG, and lots of times a spool will arrive so wet even in the sealed packaging that it can't be used without 10+ hours in a dryer.
Don't even attempt printing with Nylon without a dryer.

Another cheap method to dry the filament is using the heated bed on the 3D printer with a cardboard box covering the filament.

It is.

If you're printing every day, more than likely you're printing through PLA faster than it would absorb moisture.

For my family, the novelty has worn off and we print when there's a need or use. Tried to print some supplementary pieces to the kids' marble run they got over Christmas and the filament wouldn't lay down a good layer. 3 failures in a row in the first 10 mins. Dried it. No issues on the 4th run.

Also ordered some storage bags.

Here in the Southern US, less than 45% humidity indoors is considered great in the summer.

Depends on the filament and where you live. If you needed one, you would know it.

This one has a fan too I believe.

And yes it is definitely necessary even if you only print PLA. The only way you wouldnt need one is if you are literally in the desert like southwest, Phoenix etc. and even then you will still get spools from the factory that aren't dry.

I literally dry every spool before printing it makes such a difference. I also print from the dryer as the model I use allows it. But if you're cheap you can just dry it in the oven or on the bed plate.

No idea how the post says 4.5 stars when the Amazon listing says 4.1 stars. Reviews don't exactly instill confidence in the longevity of this dryer. I'll stick with the Sunlu units I have now.

I just checked sunlu website they have the sunlu s2 on sale for $55 shipping is free!!! I would for sure buy this over this deal!!! Might be cheaper with 10% off via sign up offer

https://www.sunlu.com/collections...1595376726
But the s2 is only one filament at a time and looks like the 10% new customer discount can't stack. Still worth it over this ?

If you are doing anything other than pla the sunlu is one of the best. The holes are in an awkward position, and only 1 for each side where as the s2 has 2 holes more at an angle. It is superior in every way but only holds one but really it's not a big deal. The cheaper one only heats from the bottom and basically half your filament and only has settings for 6 to 12 hours vs 99 hours on the s2. Prints from the box much better, I'm using petg and I want to dry at 70c which the s2 can do, also it's better for you.

Seems to be the same. I have the comgrow and it can't see a difference. I would recommend the sunlu s2 which I just got

make sure you test this as soon as you get it. lots of reviews saying it quits after 5 min of running or premature electronics failing. So you might get a perfect unit or a lemon. That said the price is much better than other offerings.

Yeah for sure. I really like my single spool Sunlu filament dryer. It gets up to around 70C for PA, has a fan, and can run continuously for long prints. The RH indicator levels out around 11-13% and I get fantastic PA prints with it.
There are many Sunlu filament dryers. gimme a link to the model you are happy with.

Only 6-12 open rolls at a time? I've probably got 75-80, but I keep them stored in airtight 20gal storage totes with desiccant inside.
It's rare for me to need to dry PLA, but it does happen on occasion.
Storing with desiccant sounds like the best start. Please give a link to desiccant you use. I'm unfamiliar.
