So tried out some PETG for the first time, and the first couple prints went really well. but I believe it’s picked up quite a bit of moisture, sitting in the basement.

What’s the current recommendation for a filament dryer? there was one on /r/3dprintingdeals a bit back, a Sunlu S2. is the S1 good enough, or should someone who’s fairly recreational with everything spring for a S2? I see food dehydrators recommended sometimes, is there anything specific to look for in one?

    I have a couple S1s that I like. They don’t have a built in fan or hygrometer like the new ones, but they seem to work. You can print mounts for cheap hygrometers if you want (not necessary but interesting to see the humidity change with the dryer running). I usually run the dryer with whichever spool I’m using when printing and it seems to keep the filament in good condition.
