Here’s an in-depth look at the new SUNLU FilaDryer E2: Performance, Specs and more!
Since hitting the scene with its wide selection of materials, SUNLU has rapidly become a key player in the 3D printing industry. As a pioneer in filament drying, the company has a relentless aim to address the critical issue of moisture absorption that affects print quality, establishing a new benchmark in the field.
In April 2020, SUNLU successfully launched its first filament dryer on Kickstarter, marking a significant milestone for the company. By protecting and preserving filament quality, this innovative product has enhanced the 3D printing experience for customers worldwide. With a legacy of innovation, technical expertise, and a growing global user base, SUNLU has become the go-to brand for 3D printing filament dryers.
Building on its focus on innovation, SUNLU has now introduced the FilaDryer E2—a new and improved device for drying and annealing engineering filaments. Designed for professionals and enthusiasts, the E2 is specifically engineered for high-performance materials, setting a new standard in filament management and post-processing.
"At SUNLU, we’re committed to being the most advanced company in the area of innovation within the 3D printing industry. The FilaDryer E2 represents the culmination of years of R&D with a product that sets the bar far above the industry standards, and positions ourselves above the competition.” said Jack Jiang, the founder of SUNLU.
Let’s learn more about the enhancements and features that can be found within the FilaDryer E2.
Efficient Drying
The FilaDryer E2 stands out with its maximum drying temperature of 110°C, making it the first in the industry to exceed the 80°C threshold. This capability makes it ideal for handling highly moisture-sensitive engineering materials like PA and PC. For example, PA filaments can be thoroughly dried at 90°C in just 2–3 hours, greatly improving efficiency. With a user-friendly one-touch drying function, the E2 automatically adjusts to the optimal settings for various filament types.
Powerful Annealing
More than just a drying box for filament spools, the FilaDryer E2 is a powerful tool for annealing finished 3D printed parts. As the first filament dryer to support annealing for engineering prints, it eliminates residual stress through consistent thermal treatment, significantly enhancing mechanical strength and stability. This feature is especially beneficial for high-performance materials like PA and PC. Users can adjust the annealing time and temperature based on the specific project requirements to achieve optimal results every time.
Dry Bigger Filament Spools
The FilaDryer E2 can accommodate large filament spools, supporting up to one 3kg/2kg spool or two 1kg spools, with a maximum spool size of φ250mm×153mm. This makes the E2 the ideal choice for users working with larger filament rolls, providing the convenience of handling bulk materials without frequent spool changes.
Heat Locked, Sealed Tight
The FilaDryer E2's sealed insulation design further optimizes drying performance. With its dual-chamber insulation structure, the E2 effectively traps heat inside while blocking external moisture, ensuring a consistent and efficient drying process. The combination of silicone gaskets, magnetic sealing, and an integrated silicone plug completely eliminates the risk of moisture reabsorption, keeping filaments in their optimal condition over time. This design significantly enhances the dryer’s energy efficiency and drying effectiveness, providing users with a worry-free filament management experience.
Strong Compatibility
The FilaDryer E2 offers exceptional compatibility, easily handling a wide range of filament types and specialized applications. It supports filament diameters of φ1.75mm and 2.85mm, covering standard materials such as PLA, ABS, PETG, and TPU, as well as functional filaments like PA-CF, PA-GF, PC, and ASA. Additionally, the E2 is capable of supporting specialized applications, such as the rapid curing of AB resin, providing creators and professionals with more possibilities for their 3D printing projects.
Enhanced Safety
The FilaDryer E2 features comprehensive safety upgrades for worry-free operation. Its dual-layer insulation structure ensures that even at 110°C, the exterior temperature remains safely below 60°C. The fan has been upgraded for better heat resistance, ensuring stable performance even during prolonged use at high temperatures. Additionally, the E2 is equipped with a temperature control switch and PTC heater, which automatically shuts off power in case of overheating.
Driving Innovation, Empowering Creation
The FilaDryer E2 is an innovative product from SUNLU, specially designed for the engineering filament market, and will be available for preorder starting January 8, 2025, at 14:00 UTC. With its advanced performance and high reliability, the E2 offers a more efficient and convenient solution for engineering filament printing, unlocking even greater possibilities for creators and professionals.
