3D printing filaments tend to absorb moisture from the environment, some materials more than others. This excessive moisture absorption results in extrusion problems such as clogging and poor adhesion of the part to the printing surface, as well as numerous quality issues on the 3D printed part. Filament dryers are devices that remove excess humidity from filament by means of heat or heat and desiccant.
The FilaDryer S4 by Sunlu has been designed to dry a wide range of materials, from PLA, PLA+, ASA, ABS PA, PETG,PC, HIPS, TPU, SILK, WOOD and MARBLE. The most outstanding feature of the FilaDryer S4 is that it can fit 4 spools of 1 kg filament, and it can work with 1.75 mm, 2.85 mm and 3.00 mm diameter filaments.
A very valuable feature of FilaDryer S4 is that there is no need to guess the drying parameters since the device comes with preconfigured drying parameters for the most common materials such as PLA, ABS, PETG, PA and PC.
