2025 CREALITY Official Space Pi Filament Dryer Plus, Dual-Spool Filament Dryer Box for 3D Printing with PTC Heater, 360° Fast Heating, 4'' LCD Touch Screen, One Key Set, Compatible with PLA PETG ABS

If you 3D print, you really should get a dryer. I'm not hard core, I only dry after finishing with a reel and then I vacuum seal it with desiccant. The dryer, really made a difference and saved at least 2 reel of PLA filament that had become brittle and unusable. It basically paid for itself right here.After reviewing many dryer designs I decided on the Creality Space PI. I assumed they knew how to apply and tune PID controllers for optimum heat control, and after using the product, yes, they did nail the tuning and temperature control, it is very good. Nice work! Reason this is important is the last thing you want is massive temperature overshoots that can damage your filament.The user interface (UI) is simple to use and innovative, although the touchscreen needs to be stiffer as touching it bends the LCD which can damage the display. I'd recommend changing the design to glass. The display is bright, modern, and large enough to read across the room. I also like that it remembers your last settings. Would be even better if it had a real time clock, and could tell you when your timer was finished. No big deal though.The device itself is pretty good, although it's made mostly of plastics which as we all know can melt and aren't the best insulators. I wasn't impressed by how much heat leakage this device has, making it very inefficient. The fan is quiet enough, and appears to have decent air flow. I was impressed by seeing actual ball bearings for using it with the printer, so the outside of the reel rolls on the bearings. That wasn't cheap, and nice to see that someone isn't cost downing a product to junk. The inside does have enough space to dry your desiccants too, but it's limited, especially if you plan to use the roll reel feature while printing. Would be nice if it had a pocket just for other things like desiccants.The device does have some limitations. The humidity meter stops at 15%, which makes it kind of useless for this application. I think that was the single biggest disappointment. While the drier is good at maintaining a temperature, the temperature indicated isn't totally accurate, but maybe enough for the purpose. On mine when set to 50C, the actual air temperature was 47C. Kind of a miss, and it should be within 1 degree C. It's also limited to how hot you can make it. I would like to see a dryer that can hit 80 or even 100C for the purposes of drying desiccant.I've used it for about 2 weeks continues, drying all my PLA rolls. I'll move on to PETG next week. So far, the drier seems reliable. No bugs, no strange noises, no failures.I like that the seller / store added some desiccant packs and Teflon tubing. Unfortunately, they weren't packaged very professionally, and stuffed into the Creality box, and also the tubes were crushed by the packing material. While it was thoughtful that they included extras, this is basically product tampering. A 3rd party should not be opening a sealed carton. Recommend you guys attach it to the side, or not include extras and just lower the price, or add other incentives.Overall, a very nice dryer, modern design, and it's easy to use. Not perfect, but worthy of 5 stars.

I ordered this dryer for myself due to high humidity summers. We can get an outside humidity of up to 100%. I run 2 different 3d printers both are flashforge but unfortunately that company no longer provides a dryer. Let's cover things shall we.Setup is super simple out of the box. Basic power cable plugs in and a safety switch in the back powers the unit to standby. Once powered you have 3 options to change; material, time, and temp. There are plenty of presets for common material and it saves your custom choices. Loading filament is fairly simple, nice long ptfe tube's help with guiding to your printer if you print straight from the dryer.I've seen reviews saying things about noise, we'll, I can't hear it over my printers so I would say if you can tolerate a 3d printer you're fine. It managed to get 2 full spools of pla from 48% down to under 30 in about 15 minutes.So far the only con I would see is the "touchscreen" has a weird blackout effect wherever you push which at first is concerning but not permanent so far.I would highly recommend this dryer for people looking to dry multiple spools and even print from!

It's a great filament dryer with only 2 drawbacks. Both of its drawbacks can be fixed with 3D prints though. The hot air blows at the back and hits the back of the roll directly causing hot spots, can even melt lower temperature filaments. That and there are only 2 tiny vent holes to let the moisture out which are insufficient.There are many prints available to fix those issues though.

For FDM printing, drying your filament improves print quality and is a necessity for certain materials. This dryer fits 2 spools, is easy to use, and works well. It uses a fan to force air around the filament to facilitate drying, rather than just temp alone, so there will be fan noise. Easy read touch screen for adjustments.Setup is easy - it has preset temps for material type which can also be adjusted if desired, and then you just set the timer and let it run. Filament can also be fed directly to your printer from ports on the top of the dryer, which is also super convenient (although I have not used this function yet). There are many options for filament drying out there, and this one works perfect.

I got this price reduced because of an open box return. No issues and everything worked like new. I needed to dry more than one spool at a time. This dryer works great for my needs. The display is easy to navigate and easy to adjust. The fan is quiet and the humidity sensor is very helpful. Small footprint is a plus. This dryer does not rotate the spools mechanically but it moves air all around the spools. You can rotate the spools every so often if you care to.
