> 3 dayThis is the best filament dryer I’ve used. I’ve tried 5 different ones and this has them all beat. No shutoff timer! I pretty much print 24/7 and not having to turn it on every few hours is a major deal. Having three sides to output the filament means you have lots of options on placement around your printer. The humidity sensor seems accurate. I like that it is batter powered and the unit does not have to be on to see humidity. The temperature can be dialed in (quite literally) for a range of filament types. I would definitely recommend this dryer! Note: in my photo the one on the left is not turned on. The one on the right has been on for about an hour.

Oh hey...
> 3 dayThis is a super basic, stripped down filament dryer that works as advertised. The side door opens easily with a convenient pull tab latch, though I did have a couple issues getting the door to seat back in correctly, requiring a couple attempts to get it to seal just right. There are three feeder holes (front, top and back) if you want to run filament straight out of the dryer and into your printer and it comes with a 20 length of PTFE tubing. Around the front it has a humidity gauge, which is quite handy for monitoring internal humidity and a temperature dial where you can select the filament type, so you dont have to remember exact temperatures for each type of filament. Inside, there is a cavity in the front bottom where you can stash desiccant to maintain low humidity after drying and there is a tiny red light to indicate its on at the bottom rear of the window. Around back is a power switch and generic, standard two pin power cable, which is nice in case you ever lose your cable. I dried out a new roll of PETG and set the dial right to the middle of the PETG setting. After about an hour I measured it and got a temperature reading of 65°C, which is right on for the 60-70° you want (though their chart here on Amazon recommends 55-60°, which seems just a tiny bit low). I turned it up to the upper end of the PETG range and later measured 71°C, so it seems to be pretty accurate. Now, what I dont like is that it has no timer or auto off. You have to turn it on and then remember to turn it off manually. My other dryer lets me pick how long I want it to run and shuts itself off, so Ive come to expect this pretty basic feature. I suppose I could just plug it into a smart outlet and set it to shut off there, but thats something that should just be built-in at this price. Overall, its a decent dryer and gets the job done, even if it needs a little more attentiveness to shut it off. The build quality seems nice and the dial makes things simple do pick the correct temperature for any given filament.

Greater than one weekThis thing is great! Easy-to-use knob to control temp based on filament kind. No unnecessary screens or buttons to be finicky. Simply turn it on and set knob to desired filament. too simple not to love it. Plus, comes with a 12”+ Ptfe tube to guide filament. What you see in the photo is what comes with it. I have mine inserted in the top hole of the dryer and into a filament guide I got off printables that uses a bearing to guide filament. “Filament guide w/ rotating head” I purchased the sunlu, the Sovol dual roll and this dryer and I have to say this one is wonderful! I’ll be returning the others and buying a few more of these.

> 3 dayFor $55, you should expect some nifty features from this filament dryer. All it has is a knob that doesnt tell you how hot the box is, and a hygrometer that doesnt go lower than 10%. The only thing that sets it apart from its competitors is that it has a fan that circulates the air well. Other than that, it is just a box with a heater, fan, hygrometer, and a knob.

> 3 dayMost filament dryers do not have a fan, this one does. Seems built very well.

> 3 dayAs another reviewer mentioned and I didn’t catch until I received it, this is the EIBOS Series X: Easdry filament dryer. I have multiple 3d printers and multiple filament dryers and they range from okay but needs improvements to the (almost) perfect. The EIBOS Easdry falls into the (almost) perfect category! The design is (at least as far as I know) a unique design for filament dryers as most that I have seen are either a half clamshell with a top portion that is hinged and opens to insert the roll of filament or one with a clear boxy top that you lift off and set the roll of filament in on rollers. The EIBOS Easdry has a clear side that locks into the unit, and you remove the side completely and place the roll of filament inside on a center mount that the roll rides on. I want to note that it does take some effort to pull down on the pull cord enough to remove the clear side piece. I do like the design and the look, but the side load design does lead to one issue that is important enough to mention and deduct a star over. Unlike many of the other filament dryers out there that have the filament roll resting on bearings, the EIBOS Easdry has the center of the roll rest on the center post that sticks out in the middle of the dryer. This means that with the weight of the roll resting on the plastic, there is enough friction to keep the roll from moving easily and rolling smoothly. I was planning on using this dryer with my Direct Driver Ender 3 S1 Pro, especially since there are multiple outlets for the filament so I would be able to use the one located at the top and just have it feed through some Capricorn filament tubing to go up and over a filament guide I 3d printed so that it could feed into the direct drive extruder and hotend. I discovered that there was quite a bit and possibly too much friction and tension with the filament (the filament roll I was using is a think cardboard which may have contributed to the issue and a plastic roll may move easier). I will, however, be able to use it with one of my Bowden printers where the path is shorter with much less of a curve. I believe that a simple fix is possible by using two large diameter bearings and a cylinder that the roll would sit on. The rest of the Easdry filament dryer is great, from the dedicated desiccant compartments, very quiet fan (so quiet I didn’t think it was turned on), multiple filament outlets, and easy to use temperature dial. The other filament dryers I have all have some sort of screen (whether a simple LCD type or a detail filed touchscreen) so I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about one with no screen and a single, simple dial to control the temperature. I have to say that I really like it! It is simple yet very effective and it does exactly what it needs to do, change the temperature based on the type of filament you need to dry. You just load up the filament, close the side door and set the dial to the correct type of filament! Even with the issue of the roll sitting on top of a plastic surface instead of some type of bearing to allow it to roll easier, it is a great filament dryer. It looks good, dries the filament extremely well and is easy and simple to use. I can and do recommend the EIBOS Easdry filament dryer!

> 3 dayI took my time and reviewed all of the filament dryers extensively. After much research, I settles on the Eibos and I couldnt be any happier. This unit includes a fan (unlike most others), and it does a great job at enclosing the filament completely. They even include about 3 feet of ptfe tubing that youre able to use to sheath your filament as it runs into your printer (unaffected by the elements) - very nice. The fact that there are three exit holes for the filament (top, front, and rear) make it very convenient for positioning so that you can load the filament more easily. There is also an on/off switch at the back, which is super convenient. Stop your research now - buy this unit. I am using it primarily for PLA, but it can be used for so many others!

Greater than one weekThis dryer made all the difference and I should have bought it a while ago, like when I bought my printer. Ive always been careful keeping my filament in a moisture free environment but after some of my older rolls were constantly having bad prints I decided to give this dryer a try. The results were outstanding! Simply drying the filament a few hours before printing fixed all my adhesion, layer, and stringing issues. The unit is built rather well for the cost. The preset temp knob handy

> 3 dayOk so I had to test this as I have old rolls from about 2 years sitting out. In the pictures you can see that there are print issues with number one ( old roll ) and in number 2 same old roll but put in the Eibos and humidity was about 39% so as this is PLA I am using you should have it in the unit for 4 hours and it went down to 12% so that brings back the strenght elasticness that the PLA had when made. Also I put them both under my Microscope number1 is ( old Roll ) number 2 is after eibos. I believe that this product can not only save your filament but also money on buying more because you let it sit.

> 3 dayI have 7 different driers now. And all of them do the job. I really like the ease if use with this one. Great addition to my print farm. Thanks for another great product.
