SUNLU, a leading Chinese tech company in 3D printing materials, has launched the FilaDryer SP2, a modular filament dryer designed for scalability and efficiency. Its innovative "one-base, multi-chamber" system allows users to vertically stack up to three drying chambers on a single heating base, expanding capacity without increasing the footprint—ideal for multi-printer setups and print farms.
Key performance highlights include a 30% faster drying time than competitors, reducing PETG filament moisture from 0.6% to 0.2% in 4 hours. The SP2 supports a wide temperature range (35–70°C), accommodating materials from PLA to moisture-sensitive nylons. Each chamber features built-in high-precision humidity sensors for real-time monitoring and spacious storage (two 1 kg rolls or large spools up to 250 mm diameter).
A comparison table underscores its advantages over traditional dryers: modular scalability, native support for small spools, triple-layer safety, and 35% energy savings. The SP2 also excels in long-print scenarios, drying saturated PLA to optimal levels in 4–6 hours at 55°C.
| Feature | Traditional Dryer | FilaDryer SP2 |
| Space Efficiency | Fixed single chamber | Modular design |
| Capacity Expansion | Requires full new unit | Just add more chambers |
| Humidity Monitoring | None or external | Built into every chamber |
| Safety System | Single or dual-layer protection | Triple-layer protection |
| Small Spool Fit | DIY mods required | Native support |
| Energy Efficiency | Average | Optimized with ~35% savings |
Founded in 2013, SUNLU emphasizes innovation, holding over 200 intellectual property grants. With 140 production lines and 25 million products sold, the company continues to prioritize quality and technological advancement in 3D printing solutions.
