I've thought about buying one for a while, but every deal is full of people saying to only get one with an active exhaust. Am I overcomplicating it? Could I just use this as is for PETG and be very happy?
I have a dehydrator, but it's big, loud, and lacks a timer and temperature settings.
I added another item to the cart to see if it was the price and sure enough, another error started showing up that the coupon won't apply because it doesn't meet the minimum price needed. Not sure how OP got this to work 🤷 ♂️ I'd buy the Plus but I really only need a single dryer since I have an AMS with with the Sunlu dryer. I could run this separately on new filaments and then toss them in there so the Sunlu dryer can keep them dry and I can predry without taking up an AMS space in this.
I purchased a Space Pi and two Space Pi Pluses from a previous iteration of "Creality Local Store" that is now defunct. I think it was the same seller, but AliExpress is a mess, and it's hard to tell sometimes.
Mine were delivered from Amazon warehouses in unbranded Amazon boxes, delivered by Amazon drivers with TBAxxxxxxxxx tracking numbers. Arrived next day once they shipped.
I also ordered a couple of Space Pi Pluses from other sellers that were straight up scammers. Chatting with AliExpress customer care got it all refunded, but you do have to keep an eye on it.
One of the sellers gave me a fake Fedex tracking number for something that was about 60 pounds and four feet long and was delivered in a state over a thousand miles away.
It looks like MSRP is around $70 and currently on sale for $60 at Micro Center.
just adding:ive bought two of the double roll version from ali for 65 each - both times i could have gotten the single under $40 and both times they shipped from the manufacturer

I use the dual space pi version mainly for PETG and it works well. The touch screen is janky but not a deal breaker.
It doesn't need an active exhaust, you can just leave a little bit of the lid open instead.

I've seen models to add a passthrough knob where the filament comes out to hold the lid open just a bit. I'm not sure they're actually necessary though, there's a tiny pin hole on the lid(on the top back) for humidity to escape.
For what it's worth, I haven't had any issue leaving it entirely closed while it's on. I have considered drying my desiccant in it as well though and for that I would probably leave the lid open a tad just because I imagine the volume of evaporated water would be much greater.
