About this item
- ✅【Keep Filaments Strong & Flexible】By Using SUNLU Filament Dryer Box S2 to removing moisture from the filament before it's used in the 3D printer, S2 filament dryer helps to ensure that the filament will be dryed. which will result in better print quality and fewer failed prints. This is important in save time, money, and frustration by improving the reliability and consistency of their 3D printing process.
- ✅【Touch Screen & Easy Operation】3D filament dry box S2 has a new touch screen that is designed to provide a tablet-like operation experience for the user. The screen is 3.42*2.87 inches in size, which makes it easy to navigate and use. The touch screen also allows user to easily switch between ℃ and ℉ and offers one-key recommended temperature settings for different types of filament. This makes it easy for the user to set the appropriate drying temperature for their filament.
- ✅【Easy to Use & Quality Guaranteed】 Allows you to print while drying. 2 inch large LCD screen monitor,Able to display temperature&time clearly and brightly. Decrease Noise when Printing (less than 10db while operating).
- ✅【Wide Compatibility Range】compatible with a wide range of filament brands and diameters. It can work with all mainstream 3D filament brands and all standard filament diameters of 1.75mm/2.85mm/3.00mm. This means that it can be used with a variety of filaments, including PLA, PLA+, PETG, TPU, ABS, and even high-end filaments like PA and PC. This makes it a versatile and convenient option for users who want to dry their filament.
- ✅【Drying & Printing at One Time】The feed-out coil also allows the filament to continue to dry in the dryer as it's being fed to the printer. This means that the filament will be dry and ready to use when it reaches the printer.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2025Not to jinx things but the Sunlu has been a champ for one year now. No issues drying PLA, PLA+, or PETG as well as the occasional desiccant pack. Game changer with my cheap open-frame printer, prints without using the dryer have horrible surface quality while those dried properly (~20%RH or less) look pristine. Top and bottom heating elements and recirc fan are a great improvement over the original (no turning spools). Plentiful of options in the onscreen menu for filament types and drying time.
I did print a wedge with filament guide (from @Voltex on Printables) that allows moisture to more easily escape as well as provide a filament path better suited for my printer. Otherwise, great dryer and a must-have for consistently good prints.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2023The filament dryer is compact and a nice clean little setup. The display is bright and easy to read, and it generally seems to work well. There is a fistful of dessicant packs inside the dryer, and I wasn't sure if it was just for packing or if they are to help with storing filament in the dryer. Turns out it is the latter. The packs eventually soak up water and can be "recharged" by baking them to have them release the moisture.
Originally I tried drying out a roll of PETG that had been sitting out for a couple of weeks, and I decided to add the dessicant packs into the dryer (it was drying at 50c, which is still safe for the paper packs). The first thing I noticed is that there isn't a built in cutoff for turning off the dryer if you open the lid. The inside doesn't get dangerously hot, so it wasn't a big deal. What surprised me is that once I put in the dessicant packs, the relative humidity went from 78% up into the 90-something percent. So it seems that those packs had absorbed a bunch of water and were releasing it again once heated. It took probably 5-6 hours before the packs seemed to have dried out and the relative humidity in the dryer went back down to 73% (the ambient humidity at the time). So, the quick lesson is, dry out those dessicant packs before you try to dry any filament - otherwise they'll just release moisture into the dryer while you're trying to dry out your filament!
The instructions that come with the unit were pretty minimal, the online instructions were better but the controls for turning on the LED light ring are blended in with the controls for turning the drying function on and off. I was expecting to find a seperate button or screen control for turn the drying function on and off, but you have to use the LED (on/off) settings to turn the dryer on and off. You also need to press the power "on/off" button twice to turn on the power for the dryer, which is kind of weird and non-intuitive.
Overall, I think this filament dryer is a winner, and aside from the caveats about drying out the dessicant packages before drying your filament, and some non-intuitive design choices in the UI, its a good investment for 3D printer owners. Way better than baking your filament in the oven!

- Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2024The SUNLU S2 Filament Dryer Box is a valuable tool for 3D printing enthusiasts, designed to keep filament dry, reduce brittleness, and improve print quality by preventing moisture absorption. Here’s a breakdown of its features:
Pros:
Effective Moisture Control: Heats and dries filaments efficiently, reducing stringing and clogging issues during prints.
Adjustable Temperature & Timer: Customizable settings for different filament types (e.g., PLA, ABS, PETG).
Easy-to-Read Display: The digital screen shows temperature, humidity, and drying time, adding convenience.
Cons:
Limited Space for Large Spools: Works best with standard-size spools; larger spools might be a tight fit.
Pricey for Casual Users: It’s a solid investment for frequent users, but beginners might find it a bit costly.
Overall Verdict
The SUNLU S2 Dryer Box is ideal for serious 3D printing enthusiasts looking to improve filament longevity and print quality. Its ability to keep filaments dry consistently justifies the price, especially for advanced projects.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2023Picked up a pair of Sunlu driers and both work great. The display is clear and is easy to navigate. It is also nice to be able to turn it on and off right from the touch screen. It also remembers any settings to chose for each material so you don't have to reset them when to move back and forth between materials. Another nice feature is the length of time you can run it on the timer, up to 99 hours, longer than I would ever actually need.
Contrary to the claims of reviewer Larry, no this doesn't use desiccant bags to do the drying and leaving the desiccant bags just sitting on the heater element is what ruined his unit. This heater has heating elements all around the outer diameter which bakes the water out of the filament. The included desiccant bags go along with the included ziplock type spool storage bags to keep your dried filament dry after you have run the spools through the heater.
I would recommend this if you are having any problem with moisture in your filament or are like me and am a bit lazy to put the spools back in storage bags between each use, sometimes just leaving them out on the desk for days on in, sometimes right next to open windows on a rainy day. Yeah, I am that lazy.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2024I'm now invested into Sunlu dryers. This is an awesome product that pairs nicely as a companion to my Bambu Lab P1S. Everything in the product description is accurate and very nicely packaged. I want to add that if you have a M6 Pnuematic fittings, you can screw them right into the holes where your filament would lead out. This works nicely to get the dried filament directly to an enclosed printer through the insulated bowden tube and into your extruder hassle free. Happy printing and thanks Sunlu. Definitely will be buying more Sunlu products going forward! =)
- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2025Works well with the exception of it falling over from even the slightest tug on the filament. Many failed prints due to it falling over. The little tiny legs just aren’t enough for it.

SteelMReviewed in Canada on July 11, 20235.0 out of 5 stars Decent unit, works out of the box, no mods required
I had always been skeptical when it came to filament dehydrators, but when I heard the filament making a popping noise as it passed through my extruder during a print I decided to give this one a go. I decided to test it by buying a brand new roll of filament, vacuum-sealed from manufacturer with desiccant in the bag. As expected, this new filament printed well on day one, but after about four days in ~70% humidity my print quality was suffering. After about 6 hours in this dehydrator, the exact same print GCode produced a perfect print with the same day one results. I've tried running this dehydrator for a 24 hour print as an endurance test, and to its credit it has done very well! I'm quite pleased with this little device, and if you have an office without AC/humidity control this is a great tool to have. I'm wondering how many print issues I've tried to rectify in the past that may have just come down to moisture in the filament.
I do want to address two patterns I've seen in other reviews for this device: this first is that this is an expensive unit, and that the value for the dollar is poor because "I can buy a used food dehydrator/toaster oven instead for much cheaper". This may be true, but the implication there is that you will have to modify whatever you get to make it suitable for purpose, and you will likely end up with a heavier, larger, more energy-hungry solution. If you want to spend the time sourcing a used item, then modifying it to save yourself some cash, that's awesome and more power to you! However, I think the value comparison needs to take into account the differences used vs. new, ready-to-go vs. time and effort to modify, and small form factor vs. homebrew solution.
The second comment I've seen is "the heating element wasn't on all the time". I would suspect this is the normal operation of the device as it reaches its target temperature setpoint. Some fancier heating controllers may vary current to hit a temperature setpoint, but it's cheaper and easier to just make an ON/OFF controller and vary the duration of time that the heating element is on or off in a given cycle. I've worked with many PID controllers for temperature control that use this exact approach. Without cutting this one open I couldn't say for sure, but my thought would be to not change the control system on your device unless it's not getting to its target setpoint and that the heating element turning off and on is probably not indicative of erroneous operation.
In short, there are cheaper ways to dry your filament to be sure. But this one did a great job out-of-the-box with zero modifications. It has a nice small footprint, looks good, and I found the controls fairly easy to use. I also like humidity indicator on the display. My only gripe is the power cable is a bit short for my setup, but that's just individual circumstance.

Buenos acabados y pantalla de fácil lectura del procesó de secado del filamento trae accesorios para la conservación de los filamentos.
SMWReviewed in Canada on June 1, 20244.0 out of 5 stars Effective filament dryer.
So far so good. It evenly dries out filament; so far I've used PETG and PLA but I'm sure it will be just as effective with other filament types.
Has two small perforations on the top case which accept PTFE tubing for filament. I run filament straight to the printer with no issues at all. Works very well paired with a Bambu Lab P1S with AMS.
It's well made, doesn't feel cheap and has a bit more control than the single-dial dryers I see on Amazon.
Ralph ReiterReviewed in Canada on December 27, 20235.0 out of 5 stars It drys filament.
I have about 50+ running hours on the S2 so far without any problems or hiccups whatsoever. And my hygrometer works and it does have a small internal fan. I'm not complaining, but there are a couple of suggestions I'd have for future models: 1) place the hole by the opening (or another hole) closer to the "horizon", right now the angle is not great if the unit is used above the printer; 2) try to make the fan whir a bit quieter - right now it's not loud or obnoxious however it is noticeable from across a room, reminds me of what old hard drives sometimes sound like 3) I found the "legs" awkward and so ended up rigging and hanging it above the printer in a "hanging rope planter" type of configuration. For me at least it would be helpful if there were a couple of molded hook attachment points by which you could hang it easily from the ceiling. But again, I have no complaints, it works good.
KarcassReviewed in Canada on September 14, 20245.0 out of 5 stars working well overall but hard to power on
The only criticism I would I have is the power on button. it takes a few times to get the screen to light up. If it wasn't for that I would have given it a 5 Star.
I have to say I am very impressed as they reached out to resolve the issue
