I would just get a Septree dehydrator. You can get the white one that will fit 2 rolls for as low as 60 bucks and then put a lazy Susan in it to print from. I have one and I also have a Sunlu S4 dryer. I dry in my dehydrator first for a few days and then either print from it or transfer to the Sunlu and print. It works great and I use it for pps-cf, ppa-cf, pa-cf, pet-cf, etc. Good luck brother and hope this helps!!!

If time is money, then something like the SUNLU E2 may be a good investment. It’s expensive, but will do the job with the least amount of fuss. An air fryer is probably the best cost/effort compromise (note that the less expensive models may need to be manually restarted every couple hours). If you have a basic understanding of electrical wiring and you don’t mind investing a little labor in modifications, a cheap toaster oven and a PID controller is the least expensive option (well under $50).

My two cents.

You can go a few different routes but what I recommend is getting either a budget dryer you think looks cool and an airfryer or getting a nice dryer and an air fryer. Either way, unless you can hit 90-100c, you are leaving performance/drying capacity on the table

I started with a shitty Ebios dryer and found that it couldn’t dry PA so I added an airfryer and started putting my engineering filaments in cereal containers. Blast dry in the airfryer at 94c fro about 8h for PA, then print from a dry box.

These days, I use a Creality SpacePi x4, but my airfryer is still my go-to any time I get a wet roll. It simply hits better temps and has way more airflow. The trick is that you need a unit that has a keep warm and/or dehydrate function so that you can hit low enough temps to not melt the filament but still be able to run the unit for hours on end.

Best of all, you can often find them used for 10$

Depending on printer you can dry it on the bed itself. I have a P1S resistor modded bed. Setting to “100C” makes it go to 130C and actual measured temp is around 110C. I cover the spool with an aluminized mylar sheet lined spool box to reflect heat. Leave it there for 10-12 hrs occasionally flipping and measuring the weight. Once I don’t get any more change in weight it’s done, I pulled out 10 grams of water on a new spool of sunlu pa6-cf. Then I feed through the eibos dryer box to keep dry during the print. I’ve been getting flawless results.

i’m in a similar situation. upgraded from my prusa mini+ to a centauri carbon and want to get into the nylon world. i’ve been looking at the sunlu e2 but it’s hard to justify a filament dryer that costs that much when there’s things like this for only 62 schmeckles.
