I think it’s finally time for a dryer box. Want something I can run filament out of directly to the printer. Right now considering space pi vs. Esun vs. Eibos. Ideally something I could run for just a little while before a print and during the print. Low noise also important. A decible chart for dryers would be nice if that exists. Any favorites or good ones I am not considering?

    I have the Sunlu one, the OG one without the fan. It seems to work fine. It is silent… because it has no fan. I run it with its lid propped slightly open, about 1/8". Otherwise I figure any moisture cooked out doesn’t really have anywhere to go.

    I jiggered it to feed directly into my printer, which involved drilling a hole in the lid and threading in one of those press-to-unlock tube fittings and some Capricorn tubing. It wasn’t too difficult, not least of which because my current Qidi printer would normally accept filament feed via Capricorn tubing anyway, but from its dumb rear-mounted spool holder thingy.
