Sovol Filament Dryer Box 2025, SH04 Filament Dry Box for 4 Spools, 3D Printer Filament Dehydrator with Rapid Heating, Filament Storage & Spool Holder Compatible with 1.75mm, 2.85mm & PLA PETG TPU ABS

The Sovol SH01 is a great edition to my 3D printing toolkit. I needed a dryer to dry some TPU and PETG Filament. The SH01 was easy to use and accomplished my main goal of taking extra moisture out. The price was also perfect for me as a budget conscious consumer.It arrived quickly from Amazon and was packaged very well and in a very sturdy and foam cushioned container. The dryer has ports to allow you to keep filament in the dryer and feed it to through to your printer. The buttons are clearly placed on the front and the display shows the humidity level and the temp you are setting it at. I have dried multiple rolls of PTEG and just recently a roll of TPU in my new dryer and it definitely did its job. Would buy again.

I got this SILK Tri Color Co-Extrusion filament a while back and have been using it for some projects. It's really interesting to work with - the colors blend together so well, creating a unique effect that kids seem to love (they always ask me about it). The bronze, purple, and green mix is pretty wild, though I did find myself getting confused sometimes trying to figure out how to orient the filament for specific color combos. Still, once you get the hang of it, it's not too bad.I've printed a bunch of different objects with this stuff - from vases to figurines. The surface finish is nice and smooth, which is always a plus. It prints without any issues on my printer, no jams or tangles (unlike some other filaments I've tried). This filament also has pretty good adhesion, so it sticks well to the bed and doesn't curl up during printing. One time, while working on a print, I heard someone mention that they had seen a similar filament being used in a science fiction movie once - kind of cool, right? Overall, this is a great filament for anyone looking to add some flair to their prints. It's easy to use and produces fantastic results. Just be prepared to spend some time figuring out the color blending aspect.

Good value, it works well, but I have a couple of cons: 1) It would be great if it rotated the spools automatically, 2) Automatic air exchange would be good too since warm air can be loaded with moisture otherwise, 3) It is quite loud. Other than that it is a pretty neat dryer with useful preset profiles for different kinds of materials.

I've been told over the years that I needed to buy a filament dryer but I've resisted due to cost and only being able to dry one spot at a time but now that I've gotten this one I wish I would have gotten one earlier . In the pictures you can see a before and after . The filament I used was some of the oldest filament that I own so I wanted to see how well it would revive it and wow was I surprised after just 8 hours @ 50c in the dryer the filament wasn't brittle anymore.ProsAble to dry a variety of materialsCan dry up to 2 spools at one timeCan print directly from the machine.Bright and easy to read, use and understand touchscreenConsI wish it came with desiccant to replace in the dryer.I wish the fan was a bit quieter.I wish the rollers to feed the filament while printing from the box were a bit more smooth .

I bought this thinking it was a multicolor gradient filament, with short sections of color...... this is not what the product is.the filament is 3 color axial filament, but with a twist..... literally...... the colors twist/rotate/spiral around the axis of the filament, and the prints show this same spiral in the color..... the other roll of filament ( also solvol, from the same page) has its color maintained in one direction, and does not spiral the color.......... they are literally the same thing, one just spirals, the other dosnt.... its an interesting way to get different versions of multi color filament.printed fine, no problems, nothing special other than the colors and the way they are twisted that i just mentioned

The media could not be loaded. Note this is the first time I've ever used a filament dryer, which after my many, MANY years of using a 3d printer without one, kinda labels me as totally crazytown that I didn't get one sooner.So, during this Christmas I made a bunch of things for my brother and sister. Along the way, I wanted to use some of my very old Sain Smart black TPU for friction fit lids for small containers. Soon as I set it printing, omg pops and crackles galore. It had sat on a shelf in a bag for years and was FULL of moisture. It was so bad off that it was actually leaving holes in the layer lines each time it would pop. I did order some new Sain Smart clear TPU but then I noticed that it too was crackling a bit after several days of use. Not bad enough to foul the prints, but it wasn't my only two spools to do it either. I also had an old-ish spool of ABS+ filament doing the same thing, and a very old spool of Taulman 910 popping the worst I've ever seen a filament crackle . This got me thinking; how many spools of filament do I want to have to get rid of because of moisture, and WHY haven't I gotten a dryer all these years?!So I got the Sovol SH02 with the really slick touchscreen LCD interface and plopped that crackling spool of Sain Smart black TPU into it. Figured out how to work the settings and had it go for a combined total of about 20 hours give or take at 55C. Finally decided to press it into service tonight on some hole plugs for a shelving unit, and am pleasantly surprised to report that while it is still sizzling a bit, it's very faint now, and it's not affecting the printing at all. It's printing beautifully just like it did when it was new. Nice and shiny, no gaps, no pops, no weird warping or layer separation or bed curling or any of that. It's behaving very nicely. I also printed myself a custom filament tensioner for the extruder to better handle TPU (this printer always had problems with feeding TPU) and now I don't even have feed problems anymore. Absolute power! :-)The dryer isn't silent but the noise it does make isn't that bad, it's a soft whirring noise in your background. It's a nice, sleek unit that neatly holds two standard 1KG spools of filament side by side on two roller bearing rails that spin very fluidly. The top has one hole for letting out heated air and water vapor, and also two front facing holes for filament to pass so you can run your filaments through and print while drying. For very long print times with very hygroscopic filaments, this is exactly what you want. And if you're like me and you're keeping filaments around for forever and a day, this just might save you having to throw old ones out due to moisture problems. And the LCD panel lets you quickly choose presets for all the popular filaments (PETG, ABS, TPU, PLA) as well as a bunch of specialty ones like PC, ASA, PVA, PP, and PE. You can easily reset your run time at any time so as to keep going, otherwise it will neatly turn itself off when the timer runs out. Default is 8 hours.Next on my list to try is to de-crap my ancient Taulman 910 which I never even tried to print with, and that old-ish spool of ABS+ which is not only crackling but also actually breaking. Never seen ABS+ do that before, but it's most of a spool unused and I'm no way just going to let that stand. If I can resurrect it, then that's a huge win right there. Otherwise it's just really nice to know that when I have crackling filament, this thing will easily resolve it.There may be better machines out there and cheaper, I wouldn't know. But you can't go wrong with this one. :-)
