【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.

I didnt know just how much I needed this, I recently got into 3D printing, after I got this I wasnt in a hurry to put my filament in here until my PLA snapped at the printer head. I hadnt used this for a few weeks and just one day while sitting there it snapped. Not sure if this was due to the humidity or what but after it snapped I immediatelu installed my roll. I just wish there was a way to keep this on when the humidity goes above a point then turn back off - Im probably going to install a humidity sensor unit that will control the power, this will allow this to turn on when it grts above a certain point then turn off once low enough. Havent tried printing yet but do feel much better having this in a controlled environment.

As 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!

Got mine May 19, takes about 2 hours to fully dry a spool. It has nearly been running 24/7 since I got it, not batted an eye yet. Great machine, highly recommend.

This 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.
