Review on 🔋 Enhanced Performance: SUNLU Dehydrator Printing With Upgraded Filament by Alfonso Alexander

I don't know why people keep buying it and even leaving positive reviews about it. The body doesn't get anywhere near the glass transition temperature of anything you print, so it's practically useless for removing the water molecules that get into your filament from exposure. You are definitely deluding yourself if you think this will "dry up" your thread. The INITIAL glass transition temperature is 50°C, although theoretically the heating element can reach 50°C (which it can't) since everything is concentrated in one spot on the filament. thread spool. Checking the temperature inside the case, it's even at max. And unfortunately, science doesn't just happen with magic. If you're printing with anything other than PLA, this box is guaranteed not to help your filament dry out. The nail in the coffin lid is that this case isn't even sealed to keep the outside air out. The border around the top and bottom halves simply overlaps and depends on gravity. There are no fasteners or seals. This means that not only does this device perform poorly as a dehydrator, but it also cannot be used for long-term storage without using an excessive amount of tape to seal it properly. There is practically no control interface on this device. You can turn it off and change the temperature. It is not possible to set the duration of the cycle, let alone anything else. Also, the thermostat displayed is not an accurate representation of the actual temperature inside the unit. The thermostat shows the temperature near the heat source, which means that some parts are minus 10 degrees or more. VERDICT ---------------- While it was a great concept, its actual usage rate is very low. It cannot keep your filament properly dry for any period of time, nor can it properly dehydrate existing filament. In order for this product to work properly, it must have a good seal so that air cannot flow between the outside and inside, and it needs a more efficient heating element that can disperse heat and heat up better. Also the thermostat needs to be fixed as it sometimes goes off by almost 10 degrees. Please stop buying this, it won't do you any good.+ IF YOU WANT TO STORE YOUR THREAM, I recommend large Tupperwear containers with proper sealing. Ikea has extra large boxes that fit 3 spools and Revain has separate cereal boxes perfect for spools of filament. This, along with the desiccant bags, will keep your filament dry until you break open the protective film in the oven. . Set the glass transition temperature of your filament and just leave it there for a set amount of time. The variables are different for each thread, so you'll need to look them up. Remember that this process usually takes 8 to 12 hours and it is recommended not to use the oven in which the food is cooked to avoid contaminating it with residual chemicals.
