Meet SUNLU' s AMS Lite Heater: Print While Drying for Better Results

Moisture-affected filament is behind some of the most frustrating problems in FDM 3D printing, including stringing, whitening, and bubbling. These issues can turn an otherwise perfect print into a disappointment, leaving rough, unsightly surfaces and making you spend extra time cleaning up strings and blemishes after every print.That’s exactly the problem SUNLU set out to solve with the AMS Lite Heater, a filament dryer designed to integrate seamlessly with your AMS Lite, launching July 20, 7:00 AM UTC. It is compatible with Bambu A1, A1 Mini, and A2L. The goal is simple: eliminate printing issues, boost your print success rate, and simplify your creation. Print and Dry at the Same TimeTypically, filament drying and printing are two separate steps. You need to dry filament first and then load it into the printer, which can be inconvenient. In addition, the filament can gradually absorb moisture again during printing, especially when the environment is humid.Our AMS Lite Heater addresses the issues by adding a dry-while-printing capability to your AMS Lite without losing any of the original AMS Lite features. You can have cleaner prints and a more convenient user experience. You also save on desk space, since you no longer need a separate external filament dryer running alongside your printer.Wide Drying Temperature Range, Compatible with Different FilamentsThe AMS Lite Heater reaches drying temperatures of up to 70°C and covers the drying needs of nearly every material on the market today, including PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PA, PC, and other mainstream 3D printing filaments. With our AMS Lite Heater, you no longer need to switch different filament dryers for different filament types since one device can handle it all. The result is high device utilization and high overall value.Dual-Side, Dual-Airflow Design for Even DryingInstead of a single airflow channel heating from one side, the AMS Lite Heater uses a dual-side, dual-airflow structure that distributes heat across the entire chamber.This eliminates the uneven temperatures and hot/cold spots common in single-channel designs. Hot air circulates with no dead zones and no major temperature gaps across the chamber.We tested the heating uniformity of our AMS Lite Heater by measuring temperatures at eight points across the spool while heating from room temperature (25℃) to 70℃. As shown below, the results confirmed even heat distribution throughout the chamber, with actual readings closely matching the target temperature, validating both the consistency and precision of our heating system.The payoff is consistency: every part of the filament spool dries at the same rate, so you don’t end up with sections that are overdried or underdried. That consistency helps prevent warping, uneven layer formation, and filament breakage, keeping your print quality stable from spool to spool.Smart Auto-Valve for More Efficient DryingBuilt into the AMS Lite Heater is a dedicated smart auto-valve that automatically manages moisture release throughout the drying cycle, eliminating the need for manual vent control.In other words, the AMS Lite Heater can actively release moisture as it’s generated. It prevents water vapor from lingering, pooling, or recirculating back into your filament, which can often occur with passive venting systems.That active approach means faster, more efficient drying cycles, and it makes the process more convenient especially for long print jobs or continuous production runs.Smart Humidity Sensing, Round-the-Clock ProtectionThe AMS Lite Heater comes with a high-precision humidity sensor that continuously monitors chamber conditions. You can set a humidity threshold, and drying kicks in automatically the moment it’s exceeded. This gives you fully automated humidity control: no need for manual monitoring or remembering to switch drying on and off.The result is 24/7 protection against moisture, condensation, and filament degradation, meaning less wasted filament, fewer print defects, and less time spent babysitting your equipment.Safety You Can Trust, Longevity You Can Count OnOur AMS Lite Heater offers comprehensive protection. It features PTC heating (which self-regulates resistance based on temperature, cutting heat automatically at abnormal highs), a PTC temperature-protection switch that disconnects on overheating and resumes once cooled, and dedicated software-level safeguards.Longevity is built in too. Our full-load validation testing shows that, with the AMS Lite Heater installed, the AMS Lite’s internal control board temperature remains below 55°C during continuous operation. Compared with the widely accepted long-term operating guideline of below 90°C for PCB electronic assemblies, the measured temperature remains well within the recommended safe operating range. In other words, there’s little risk of overheating-related failure and you can run the AMS Lite Heater regularly without worrying about it shortening the lifespan of your AMS Lite.Why We Build This Filament DryerAt SUNLU, we understand how frustrating moisture-related defects can be, and our goal has always been simple: simplify your creation.By enabling Print While Drying, our AMS Lite Heater keeps filament continuously dry during the entire print job. The result is significantly reduced stringing, smoother surfaces, and cleaner final models.We are also committed to creating the best possible product. That’s why our AMS Lite Heater comes with four extra 1.2-meter PTFE tubes for guiding filament from the unit to your printer. These tubes provide greater flexibility when arranging your setup, allowing the heater to be placed more freely rather than being fixed next to the printer. Even when used with the A2L, the extra tube length lets you fully open both side doors for easy filament changes, without being restricted by tube length.Get Ready for July 20The SUNLU AMS Lite Heater launches July 20, 7:00 AM UTC. If stringing, print failures, and inconsistent filament quality have been holding your prints back, this is the upgrade built to fix it without giving up anything your AMS Lite already does well.Mark your calendar, and get ready to print smoother, drier, and more reliably than ever.Product Pricing:Super Early Bird Price: USD $99.99 for the first 200 units.

Thirteen Years of Growth, One Unchanging Promise

To all SUNLU users, colleagues, partners, and shareholders,Thirteen years may be a brief moment in the history of an industry, but for us, it has been a long journey built step by step. From our early beginnings to today’s rapidly evolving 3D printing landscape, we have witnessed remarkable change. Technologies have advanced, hardware has become more capable, and materials continue to expand in both diversity and potential. New ideas and new partners emerge every day. We are sincerely grateful to be part of this journey with you.In a constantly evolving market, I often return to a simple question: how can SUNLU better serve 3D printing users and contribute to meaningful innovation in the industry? Our answer has remained unchanged. Stay true to our original purpose and always put users first. No matter how technology evolves, we hold ourselves to one standard: whether every print is smooth, reliable, and satisfying. Technology only matters when it solves real problems. This belief continues to guide everything we build.This principle also defines everything we do. We do not follow trends. Instead, we focus on real user needs and translate them into practical solutions. Our latest PETG 2.0 is engineered to maintain clean, stable printing performance even after prolonged exposure to air. The upgraded PLA+ Silk 2.0 delivers richer colors with enhanced gloss and brightness, balancing visual quality with functional performance. Our new AMS Lite Heater addresses a long-standing limitation of the AMS Lite system by enabling stable temperature control and supporting simultaneous drying and printing, significantly improving consistency in multi-material workflows. These improvements may appear modest, but they have a meaningful impact in daily use. For us, user experience is never negotiable. Every detail is refined through continuous testing and iteration. We are willing to take the longer path when necessary, because every successful print deserves that level of care.Our vision has never changed. We are committed to being a long-term leader in driving innovation and progress across the industry. This is not about competition or ranking, but about turning innovation across materials, hardware, and applications into practical, scalable solutions. We believe leadership is defined not by speed, but by impact. We also work with industry partners to build shared standards and an open ecosystem for collective growth.Based on this belief, we are moving forward with several key initiatives. Our new official website is now live, along with a dedicated community for 3D printing users worldwide. The community is designed as a space for sharing experiences, joining activities, and exchanging ideas. More importantly, it provides a direct channel for feedback, allowing our product, engineering, and support teams to listen closely and respond efficiently. We remain committed to staying close to our users and engaging in meaningful conversations about printing and creation.At the same time, I would like to share an important step in our global strategy. We are planning to establish a manufacturing base in the United States. From site selection to team building, every step is being carefully evaluated. Once completed, users in North America and other regions will benefit from shorter delivery times, stronger local support, and more responsive after-sales service. Wherever you are in the world, we want SUNLU to feel close and accessible.Looking back over the past thirteen years, we have gained not only technology and products, but also a deeper respect for this industry. Looking ahead, we will continue to focus on three priorities:1. Advancing materials science to make 3D printing materials more practical, reliable, and widely applicable.2. Building a more open and connected ecosystem that brings together hardware manufacturers, software developers, and users to create shared value.3. Expanding our global operations to ensure consistent quality across production, logistics, service, and user experience worldwide.Thirteen years of progress would not have been possible without your trust and support. We are sincerely grateful that you chose SUNLU and continue this journey with us. No matter how the industry evolves, we remain focused on what matters most: better products, better service, and better experiences. We will continue to work with care and consistency, so that every trust placed in us is well deserved. We look forward to building the next chapter with you and making 3D printing even more creative and meaningful.Stay true to our original purpose and keep moving forward. SUNLU looks forward to the next thirteen years with you.Jack JiangFounder & CEO of SUNLUJune 30, 2026

Why Does SUNLU Have Two Different Websites?

If you have searched for SUNLU online, you may have noticed something unusual. There are two official SUNLU websites: www.sunlu.com and store.sunlu.com.Naturally, this raises a few questions. Are both websites official? Why are there two of them? Which one should I use?The answer is simpler than it may seem. Both platforms are officially operated by SUNLU, but they are designed for different purposes. One is built to help you explore, learn, and stay connected with the brand. The other is designed to make purchasing and product support easier.You can think of them as two parts of the same journey. The SUNLU Official Website helps you understand and explore. The SUNLU Official Store helps you take the next step.The SUNLU Official Website: More Than a Product CatalogThe SUNLU Official Website is designed to be more than a place to browse products. It serves as SUNLU's digital home and knowledge hub, where users can explore materials, learn about the brand, and gain a deeper understanding of 3D printing. Unlike a traditional online store, the website is not centered around pricing or promotional campaigns. Instead, it focuses on delivering clear, complete, and distraction-free product information.Here, you can browse the full SUNLU product lineup without being limited by inventory status or overwhelmed by promotional bundles and repeated listings. Whether you are comparing filament specifications, exploring color options, or checking whether a product is still available, the goal is simple: to provide reliable information that helps you make informed decisions.We believe good purchasing decisions begin with understanding the product itself, rather than rushing toward the nearest discount banner.To make material selection easier, the SUNLU Official Website is continuously introducing practical tools designed around real printing needs:Color Matching Tool: Explore and filter filament colors more intuitively, helping you discover compatible shades and create the right palette for your projects.Material Comparison Tool: Compare key material properties through visual charts that make technical differences easier to understand.Application-Based Material Finder: Narrow down material options based on what you plan to print, helping you identify suitable choices faster and more accurately.All of these tools share the same purpose: helping users choose materials with greater confidence and less guesswork.A Place to Learn, Ask, and Connect3D printing involves much more than choosing products. Finding the right settings, understanding material behavior, and troubleshooting failed prints can sometimes be just as important as selecting the filament itself. That is why the SUNLU Official Website is designed not only as a product platform, but also as a place for learning and interaction.One of the most practical resources available is Match AI, SUNLU's intelligent assistant. Whether you are selecting a filament, searching for printable model ideas, fine-tuning print parameters, or trying to solve a printing issue, Match AI is designed to provide helpful guidance and recommendations tailored to your needs.For users who want to dive deeper into 3D printing knowledge, the website also connects directly to the SUNLU WIKI. Covering topics from printing fundamentals and material characteristics to hardware explanations and troubleshooting techniques, the WIKI serves as an expanding knowledge base for makers at every experience level.The website experience has also become increasingly interactive through the launch of the SUNLU Community. This is where communication becomes a two-way conversation. Users can share projects, discuss printing experiences, participate in activities and competitions, and exchange ideas with fellow makers around the world. The community also includes an Extreme Test Zone, where SUNLU publishes real-world stress testing videos that visually demonstrate how filament performance aligns with its specifications. More importantly, the community creates a direct connection between users and the SUNLU team. Questions, suggestions, and feedback become part of an ongoing conversation rather than disappearing into a support queue.Alongside these resources, the SUNLU blog provides another way to stay connected with the brand. Through updates on exhibitions, company news, product launches, and industry developments, readers can gain insight not only into SUNLU products, but also into the people and ideas behind them.Taken together, the SUNLU Official Website is designed as a place for discovery, learning, and engagement. It welcomes not only potential buyers, but also media, partners, long-time users, and anyone interested in understanding SUNLU and 3D printing more deeply.The SUNLU Official Store: Built for Shopping and SupportOnce you know what you need, the SUNLU Official Store becomes the next destination. While the Official Website focuses on exploration and education, the store is designed around purchasing and customer service.Here, users can view real-time pricing, current inventory, popular products, and ongoing promotions. As SUNLU's official direct sales channel, the store is designed to make ordering straightforward, secure, and efficient.The shopping experience is designed to be straightforward and convenient. Customers across major regions, including the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, can access shipping support on qualifying orders. SUNLU also operates localized storefronts for Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy, supported by local warehouses for faster delivery, with additional regional expansion planned for the future. Secure payment systems and dedicated customer service teams help ensure a smooth experience from checkout to delivery.The SUNLU Membership Rewards Program adds additional value through member benefits and purchase-based rewards, making long-term ownership even more rewarding.Because the store operates as an e-commerce platform, product listings naturally reflect real-time inventory and promotional strategies. Bundle offers and regional stock differences may occasionally result in similar products appearing more than once. This is exactly why the two platforms exist side by side.If your goal is to fully explore SUNLU products and understand the broader ecosystem, the Official Website is usually the best place to start. If you are ready to order and want access to pricing, promotions, and support, the Official Store is built specifically for that purpose.So, Which One Should You Visit?Although both platforms are official, they are designed with different goals in mind. Here is a quick comparison to help you decide where to start:CategoryOfficial WebsiteOfficial StoreCore PurposeBrand presence and knowledge hubE-commerce and customer serviceProduct InformationComplete product lineup, independent of inventory availabilityInventory-based listings with possible bundle duplicationKey FeaturesColor matching, material comparison, application filtering, AI recommendations, community interaction, and WIKI knowledge basePromotions, membership rewards, and after-sales supportInteraction StyleTwo-way engagement and communicationPurchase-oriented experienceBest ForMedia, partners, and anyone interested in learning about SUNLUCustomers with purchase intent and end consumersFinal ThoughtsMany users ask why SUNLU does not simply combine everything into a single website. The answer comes down to focus.The SUNLU Official Website is designed to help users explore, learn, and connect. It brings together product knowledge, educational resources, community interaction, and a broader understanding of the brand.The SUNLU Official Store, on the other hand, is designed to make purchasing and support as smooth and convenient as possible.Rather than competing with one another, the two platforms work together. One helps you discover. The other helps you create. Together, they are designed to make your 3D printing journey easier, more informed, and more enjoyable.
