InLoveArts 3D Printer Filament Dryer Box 70℃ 110W PTC Heater Keeping Filaments Dry for 1.75mm, 2.85mm, 3.00mm Filament

There isn’t a lot of decent choices out there when it comes to filament dryers.I have a mk1 ebox filament dryer and this has done quite well, but still over priced! And tacky.The Eibu Filament Dryer seems to have a good sound working concept and it pumps out heat well and fast, I have managed to put 3 filament rolls in , side by side and runs that just fine.My only quibbles are:Quality, the bottom of the base is very thin, it moves and flexes if you fingers touch it, the base looks cheap too.The display is basically a plastic overlay on top of the buttons, works just fine, but I can’t imagine it to last too long.I don’t have much confidence in product, due to its build quality, I can only hope that the extra money went in to good electronics, but I doubt this is the case.The hygrometer is very cheap, sits, when fitted at a slight angle to the body of the unit, the battery compartment feel like it would break when putting a battery in as it’s such a tight fit and the hygrometer, doesn’t work in conjunction with the temperature controller, it’s a very cheap and nasty separate unit the pushes into the acrylic/Perspex covering.The only quality feeling parts of the device are the lid, this looks and feels of good quality.The heating element, seems to do a good job and the fan isn’t too loud either.It’s a good device that will do the job and do it well, but for how long, I have no idea.But it certainly isn’t worth anything near the £139 they are asking for this, maybe in line with others ie£50 to £70 mark is fair.I’ve I were to buy this a again I wouldn’t want to pay over £60 for it.It really doesn’t offer anything huge in any way to justify the extra cost, when compared to any other product in the market bar the ability to add an extra roll of filament or may an extra two filaments.Only thing extra you are getting are:Quicker heating when compared to other filament dryers.Ability to add more then one roll of filament.And a timer for you to set depending on what material you are planning on drying out.

I have recently got very much into 3D printing! As with all new hobbies i didn't understand the possible drawbacks of storing filaments - having purchased several rolls of PLA and opening them all up from their vacuumed sealed bags to play with the different colours i quickly discovered from researching 3D printing that filament is prone to moisture absorption which can hugely effect the print quality.As a result i decided to invest in a filament dryer. I researched quite a few dryers and settled on this 'inlovearts' one - mainly due to the fact i could dry and store two rolls of filament inside the dryer and the fact that it has an air circulating fan. Apparently this is a must to decrease humidity to an acceptable level.The dryer requires very little assembly when you receive it - just a case of inserting the rollers in the correct place. There are several filament feeder holes around the acrylic lid which allow for a multiude of 3d printer options. The device is very simple to operate only require basic user input - time and temprature - these are very easily changed via buttons on the front of the device. The timer counts down and the device then switches off.I dried two rolls of PLA for 4hrs at 50c and the total cost in electricity was 10p. The max draw from the device was just under 150w when the heating element came on.On the front of the case is a removable humidity meter, you need to turn this on via a small push button located on the reverse of the display.My only niggles with the device are that the humidity sensor easily pops out of the casing and the rollers for the filament are not secured in place, therefore they can fall out when moved - also the metal casters fall off very easily. I did find this slightly annoying - however if the dryer is placed in a permanent position then this would not be a major drawback.Overall i am highly satisfied with this dryer and would recommend it to others.I hope that you found my review helpful.

Used primarily to dry filament not attached to a printer. Really needs a motor drive to rotate the spool otherwise it sits on a static plate to dry. When attached to a printer the spool can sit on rollers and rotate for even drying. Loading and unloading needs three hands when attached to a printer, I solved this by printing a waistband layer to the case which the filament is fed to the printer. In this way the lid can be easily removed or replaced as the filament does not pass through it. Othewrise does the job required.
