Official Creality Filament Dryer, Space Pi Plus

It does it's job, and it does it well. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I have a roll of clear TPU I had sitting in a non-air-tight bag for about 6 years in the basement and decided to see how bad moisture impacted it. (It was really bad, as can be seen in one of my pictures.) Threw it in the drier with the recommended settings and got impressive results; it dried out the filament and made it printable again. I also recently purchased a spool of Elegoo rapid PETG to try out the brand and was disappointed with its performance out of the box as it was laden with moisture. I would have been annoyed and writing an email to support because I had an unusable spool of filament, but this drier came in to save the day. Now I'm just annoyed, but at least I have a usable spool of filament. Having saved two spools and used this to guarantee an additional two spools in my collection were good to work with before large prints, I can say my investment has already paid off. (Included in my review are also thermal images of the drier running; it's pretty interesting to see the channel the hot air is blown through by the fans and how it heats the spools.) I am however disappointed with the quality of the touchscreen; it feels very cheap, has visual artifacts when pressing on it, and mine arrived cracked. (You can see some hairline cracks light up in the display itself when pressing on the screen to use the interface and they go away after a few seconds.) The screen is still fully functional, just looks bad when you need to touch it.

With the humidity in my area steady at about 60% all year, this thing really helps me dry my filament out. I would totally recommend this to folks looking to try out filament.

I had some disappointment with some recent prints with some of my filaments and came to the realization that the humidity level was creating problems for me. I’ve had significant improvement with filaments after treating them in this dehumidifier. Some required repeat runs through the unit, but I’m seeing better results after using this tool.

The built-in setting for ABS is 70C. I tried drying two spools of ABS using that setting. After an hour or so the heater turned off and the screen displayed "Error E4". I turned down the temperature to 60C, and it worked fine for 12+ hours.

I purchased this Dryer based on the video reviews, feedbacks, etc. I print a lot, and some of my prints come out with bad results, from webbings, to the gaps in between layers. I sell my creations so I have to make sure each print is to the top quality or else the negative feedbacks will cost me any future sales. Recently a filament resulted in several bad prints, I tested the printer with prints from a different newly opened pack and the results differed greatly. From a horrible print to a perfect one, both from the same printer. I hear that it may be caused by the moisture in the air, and tried to dry it properly. I allowed this dryer to do it's job, the settings were set to PLA for the PLA+ filaments. It was heated for over 6 hours. I was excited to see if my investment was worth it... it was not. The results from a 2hr print showed same results from it's previous prints. Gaps in between layers, flaws all over, etc. I cannot promote/suggest anyone to buy this model. It doesn't even have a lock for the cover once it's closed. Gonna have to look elsewhere, and so should you.

Dryer works well, heats up fast. Having it feeding directly into my printer. No issues. Happy withcthe unit.

Tried another unit but it wouldn't get hot enough. This unit hit target temp or slightly higher in multiple parts of the chamber. Only bad is bottom gets so hot it damaged the wood table I was using (split the glue line between boards). So, I recommend for PETG, ASA, etc. but make sure to put a hot pad of some kind under it.

Started making noise from the fan and it has not been even a year

I’m happy with the thing. Seems to do the job.

フィラメントがしけると、仕上がりに影響があるとのことなので念のために買いました。 なんとなく、失敗が減った気がします。

Tengo unos 5 años de experiencia en la impresión 3D y noté que en los últimos meses medio mundo recomienda secar tus filamentos para mejorar drásticamente la calidad de las impresiones, así que decidí probar con este producto de Creality, cabe destacar que siempre he mantenido mis rollos en bolsas ziploc y con sus respectivas bolsas de desecante, esto no cambiará. El secador funciona bien, no tuve problemas de mal funcionamiento como otros comentan pero lo único que no me gustó es tener que usar tubos bowden para meter el filamento en ellos y después en tu impresora, uso impresoras de extrusión directa y esto claramente afectará a las configuraciones de retracciones, también noté que el extrusor necesita hacer más fuerza para jalar el filamento, hay más resistencia a causa de los tubos y esto no me gustó, no quise forzar el motor del extrusor y al final solo seco los filamentos, los saco del secador y los coloco en el portarrollos de mis impresoras como siempre lo hice. Se nota la diferencia en la impresión, también se nota en los rollos, estos hacen un ruido peculiar al manipularlos, como rechinidos, el material al estar seco rechina cuando tiene fricción entre si, creo que esa es la señal de que ya están listos para usarse. Otra cosa que noté, cuando abres la tapa del secador, al instante baja algunos grados el porcentaje de humedad en la pantalla, como si estuviera acumulada en el interior y al abrirla "liberas" algo de esa humedad. Puse sin preocuparme un rollo de PLA y otro de PETG con temperatura de este último, veo que al usar 60 grados la humedad baja más rápido, pero pienso que es un error del sensor, parece ser que a 60 grados si indica la humedad correcta y 50 tiene menos precisión. Si tienes un PLA un buen rato con sus 50 grados y notas que no cambia el porcentaje, prueba subirle a 60 (cambiar a PETG) por unos minutos y verás como baja más rápido, no sé que daño se pueda causar al filamento si es que lo causa, pero yo dejé un PLA por horas junto con un PETG, después imprimí sin ningún problema con ambos.

work out well,not as many problems with filament after i started using it.

La recomiendo, hace todo lo que describe e incluye 2 tubos blancos para imprimir mientras se seca, la estructura, y su funcionamiento por aire la hacen efectiva, en general tiene buenos materiales de construcción aunque al abrir y cerrar la tapa rechina, pero con un buen manejo no es un problema. El ventilador es bastante silencioso para ser un 5015 aunque hay gente que dice que es ruidoso, definitivamente mucho menos ruido que una impresora mientras sólo se calienta. Sólo tiene un pequeño "Problema", fácil de resolver. La estructura del SpacePi no tiene ningún mecanismo de sujeción como los conectores neumáticos para los tubos. Por lo tanto si imprimes mientras está secando el filamento, el tubo se estará moviendo hacia adentro de la secadora ocasionando atascos, rotura de filamento o algún daño a los equipos. Pero en Printables hay modelos para imprimir soportes para los conectores neumáticos, una vez instalados ya no hay ningún problema para imprimir.
