I fail to see how this was an analysis or a test...

How about testing a roll before and after? Trying to identify if quality changes in a print... Vs... some vague discussion about grams.

[AndrewSink]

I absolutely love the thin profile on this dryer, it's perfect for sitting right next to a desktop FDM 3D printer!

[dcf]

Seen a couple of these dryers now, not uncommon to remove only a couple of grams of moisture out of the filament BUT it makes a BIG difference to the print. Grab another old roll, do a small print, dry it for 6hs minimum then print the same print again and it'll be much cleaner🙂👍

I have the Cyclops, and I can say without a doubt it is incredible at what it does. My only complaint is that I wish it shipped with plugs for the holes. A few short prints later and I'm good to go now. This looks great for single filament spools.

No offense, but this video was quite useless. None of the testing results were verified, all "take my word for it." No test prints, nothing of value. 7:36 min. + time of writing this response wasted from my life.

5:24 "In the front ... it sucks right through there and blows it right out the back"

If it did that, it would be pulling cold air from the box, heating it and blowing the hot air out. It wouldn't be a filament dryer, it would be a space heater. 🤣🤣

I'm curious, what were the results with the desiccant over night?

[DO-Biking]

Can you try a before and after drying filament printing test to see what affect it has on printing. If you have nylon then that would be best because nylon is a very hygroscopic material. More than PETG. We use a desiccant drying system to dry our materials where I work. We use a moisture analyzer to test materials. There's a very significant difference between properly dried material and undried. The popping that you see in filaments is the same you see in injection molding. There is popping and drooling of material from the nozzle. There are also visual marks on the parts we mold. Thanks for the video.

I made a solid walnut enclosure for my Prusa MK3s+ with lexan sides and door. A walnut cabinet under it for supplies. And on top of the enclosure I made a drying box that uses a Nesco Gardenmaster dehydrator. Nothin like makin it all look classy. LOL

[KanielD]

I’ve been using this dryer & like it a lot. However, I still hope that we get something with better build quality, Desiccant has helped a lot. It would have been nice to see print quality & know more about the spools you chose to dry.

[mscir]

I just bought this model, 3 hrs and RH dropped from 68% to 20%, with 4 bags of desicant inside. I want to install a thermometer so I'm going to look for that hack.

Thanks for another great review video Jim! It's great to see more dryers coming out on the market, the lack of competition really makes these pricey in my opinion. I like your idea of putting an exterior hydrometer on the outside through the filament hole however I would suggest trying to get your hands on a really good one so you have accurate readings. You would be able to get readings from the start, at their recommended times and at your times. It'd be great to see the differences.
For those saying that it's a ploy to make money through YouTube for Jim, I highly doubt it! Obviously you haven't followed The Edge of Tech for very long 🙄, I can tell you Jim's an honest stand-up guy who's here to help all of us in the makers community! Thanks again Jim! 😊😊

This is the curse of doing stuff like this in winter up here. Even indoor humidity tends to be super low, and cheap hygrometers aren't likely to be accurate even in the middle of their measurement range, let alone the extremes. It's definitely worth a before & after Benchy if you've got another roll of filament that's been out a while.

[PaulHainesNJ]

So if any of you guys have both the Easdry and Cyclops, which one do you prefer? The only negative of the Cyclops I heard was the clicking relays. So now I'm not sure which one to get.

[YourBuddyDinec]

I've got a dehydrator with some printed PETG sides that can dry up to 3 rolls at a time. It's great. Cost me about 20 bucks for the dehydrator on sale and like 5 bucks worth of petg.

[Karandash]

Used this exact dryer for about a month. Took me that same month to figure out that the spool holder is very much questionable. It’s just a piece of plastic. No bearings, nothing. If you print while drying it might be a very bad idea. At least in my case the fit was so tight that it cased periodic under extrusions and quite a bit of skipping…Switching to Sunlu now.

[stldenise]

You could test a half roll that's on a clear spool -- then you could stick the hydrometer in there and see it? Even if the roll didn't really "need" to be dried, you could see what the humidity levels are.

[comeoutandpla]

Has anyone found a way to load and feed the filament out of the case with ease? It’s not like it’s impossible, but does take some finesse

[CitizenFortress]

It would've been better if you printed something without drying it and compared it to an identical print after drying it. Then we could see if it actually does work or not.

[Schnippen_Schnappen]

It doesn’t drop below 10% because that is the lowest it will go.
