Question 1

How consistent is the temp control at a set temp?  i.e. ±5°F

Accepted Answer

I didn’t put a thermometer on unit to test how accurate the settings are. I do know when I followed directions for filament type it pulled out the moisture from filament(Petg). The filament started printing better.

Question 2

Can you buy extra trays?

Accepted Answer

I haven't seen where anyone is selling additional trays. I'm not sure they would be needed tho. You place the filament spools on the trays, so your not wrapping filament on them. You just life the spools off once dry. I store my filament in a dry box once I remove them.

Question 3

Exactly what is included in the package?

Accepted Answer

Our PrintDry filament dryer includes the dryer itself, two stackable chambers for drying filaments, a top feeder and metal plate and as an added bonus we have included 2 D-Spools which you would use to take the filament off the roll it is sold on, and wind it onto the PrintDry D-Spool which have less plastic and feature a more  open design all the way to the center of the roll to allow consistent drying for the whole spool of filament.   Many filaments come on spools that cover most of the filament on the roll and make proper drying impossible since the filament is protected by the thick plastic of the spool.     This is important especially on long prints as only part of the filament will be able to be dried leaving the interior of the original spool with moisture.   We also offer a re-spooling station and extra D-spools in our PrintDry accessories.

Question 4

Does anybody see a benefit of increasing the capacity of a filament spool drier to more than two spools? Say, 4 or even 6?

Accepted Answer

Not at this time. I only use 1 spool at a time so far, and I can't see printing with more than that just yet. If the dryer were to add the capabilities for more, the cost would exceed what most people would pay. Since you can dry filament in your own oven, it would price themselves out of sales.
