【EIBOS Official】3D Printer Filament Dryer Easdry, 3D Printer Filament Dryer Box with Fan, Adjustable Temperature, Humidity Control & Spool Holder, Compatible with 1.75mm 2.85mm 3.00mm Nylon, PLA, ABS

Had 2 prints back to back that uses almost an entire roll of PETG. Placed the roll inside, set to PETG, waited for humidity monitor to read around 10% (new roll and didnt take long at all) then started printing. Roll moved ok (Hatchbox Blue PETG) inside the dryer. No hiccups during almost 3 straight days of printing. Prints came out flawlessly too! Very happy with this dryer. Now I just have to figure out how to store my dried filament. Its a good problem to have.

This is the first side-loading filament dryer I have seen, and overall, it works very well. Two rubber O-rings are provided that stretch over the upper spool support - the idea is that you should place them so that they keep the spool from shifting over toward the door. I did find some of my spools are so wide that I couldnt use the O-rings at all, but the door closed without issue. There are two filament exits, and a supplied PTFE tube inserts into the one youre using to protect the filament until it reaches your extruder. (Oddly, the instruction leaflet never mentions this.) There is no timer, just a temperature control with markings for various filament types, and an on-off switch. A fan exhausts moisture-laden air and a hygrometer reads the internal humidity. Like most of these inexpensive hygrometers, it does not read below 10%. When I used this with a spool of PLA, the reading dropped from the ambient 35% to 10% within an hour or so. I was pleased to see that the humidity stayed low even after I turned off the unit.

* For printing environments which benefit from side loading spools, you should consider this printer * detachable power cable is a second benefit over the completions * if you prefer a dial potentiometer to adjust the units drying temperature, this is the unit for you! however… * in my printing environment they didn’t work out + these units require the inside of the filament spool to rotate around a fixed plastic ‘axel’. Bottom rollers as commonly used by other solutions at the same price point at not present. * my experience was that several of my spools of brand new PLA would break off causing overnight jobs to stall * the friction tugging against the filament had other negative impacts of printing * nothing against eibos, just this particular design; as I have to work ‘double roll’ solution with front and back rollers beneath each spool and it works very well. * for fem filament dryers I prefer a digital thermostat with lcd readout ) as is standard on other models) that displays bith the user adjusted target temp and the sampled temp.

This 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.

The quality of the product is poor. The product worked properly the first time I used it, and after a few days I used it again and he was no longer running. I suspect it is an inferior product.

This has an easy to use dial to select type of filament you are drying. It comes with extra tubing you can run your filament through to make it pull smoothly. It is vented which allows it to do its job of drying faster. The only minor issue is it drags more than other dryers I have. This puts additional strain on the extruder but probably not much of an issue but optimize your feeding path to keep this as good as you can and watch it. This side loads and you pull down on the strap to release the cover. It was a bit awkward feeding the filament and getting the roll in there but again very minor. Overall I give this 5 stars due to the innovative design. Make it roll easier and it would be optimal. Really everyone should be using a filamanet dryer unless you live where there is no humidity.

Compared to other dryers in this price range, this really blows the competition out of the water in terms of its feature set. The fact that this one has a fan to circulate air, and is vented rather than telling the user to open the lid while drying definitely gives it a leg up right from the start. There are 3 holes on different edges to support adding a PTFE feed tube to feed the filament straight from the dryer to the printer. No timer for operation, so it will stay on until you turn it off, which can be a good or bad thing depending on your use case. The humidity gauge is nice, although it would have been nicer if they had used a unit that displayed both humidity AND temperature, as humidity is always relative to temperature. The temperature knob is also nicely laid out, just giving indicators for filament type rather than listing temperatures and leaving you to figure out what temperature is appropriate. The single biggest problem, though, is the design of the unit will pretty much only support 1kg spools. While this is certainly the most common spool size, due to some recent sales, I have quite a number of 250g spools on hand, and there is no way to get these to fit in the dryer, because the center post is too large for the smaller spools, and because the heater is inside the center post, it cannot be removed to make enough space to get a small spool inside. So, in order to dry one of my small spools, I had to re-spool my filament onto a spare 1kg spool first, which is not exactly ideal. The first filament I dried (Sunlu transparent PLA) actually made me think I was going to have to write a bad review on this dryer, because after 4h of drying, all of that filament deformed, and had actually cracked up into a number of small pieces on the spool itself, and that made me wonder if the dryer got way too hot. So, I then put a thermometer inside and ran it at both PLA and PETG temperatures, and am very happy to say that the temperature knob is spot on to the appropriate temperature ranges. I then tried drying out some Creality Ender series black PLA, and that worked perfectly, so my initial difficulties were from legitimately terrible filament.

The EasDry I received was obviously used. Seriously obviously. It was missing the protection on the clear pane. It was missing the silicon loop that prevents the spool from sliding. I probably spent 30 minutes looking for the silicon loop thinking it was buried in the box. Starting the exchange process. Will update after I receive a replacement.

Bought this unit because it does not have a timer or complicated control interface. Works great and dries my filament for as long as I need to, without needing to restart the unit. Doesnt feel poorly built like some other units on the market, has the best heater and fan design Ive seen, and still has room for desiccant packets if desired.

【EIBOS Official】3D Printer Filament Dryer Easdry, 3D Printer Filament Dryer Box with Fan, Adjustable Temperature, Humidity Control & Spool Holder, Compatible with 1.75mm 2.85mm 3.00mm Nylon, PLA, ABS - $52.99 at time of review. It works and works well. Has a simple humidity monitor on it. Would have been nice if it was backlit. The side panel cover is a nice double walled design to keep in the heat. The heater element itself is a good design to spread the heat throughout the entire case indirectly unlike some heaters out there. There are 3 holes, one on the front, top and back so you can feed your filament out based on how you have the dryer setup next to your printer. They provide a nice long bowden tube which can be moved to any of the holes you desire. And one thing that others lack is stability! Its wider and keeps it from tipping over. You dont need to remember the temp to set it at for each material as it has it labeled on the simple temperature control knob. Definitely prefer that over the digital settings. Really, the only lacking feature on this is a timer to auto shut off. The EIBOS sticker on the side bubbled up on first use when drying PETG. No big deal, but kind of odd they would put a generic sticker right where the heat blows on to.
