I’m up for it, drying boxes are essential where I am located.

I would like to give it a go. Here on the east coast of Australia the humidity averages between 70 - 90 % therefore i have a dryer perinatally connected to my K1C.
A new dryer would need to have space for a minimum two rolls but four would be better for use with muti color printers. Alos have the ability to feed from the top and front or rear depending on the posotion of the drier and printer.

Another from down under that constantly has high humidity.
It would be good to have more than one spool ability with separate control of each.
At least a max of 70 deg C
Touch screen control
Screen also shows humidity along with temperature and filament type selected
Front, Top, Rear outlets
Rollers
Variable fan control
Competitively priced

Ok, I will have one thanks :+1:

Edit: I doubt it would be integrated with CFS as that would limit possible buyers to only those that need CFS and extra expense to those that don’t require that function.
Now, they “could” create 2 versions, 1 with CFS and 1 without …

Sounds like a opportunity to scammed

Hey there @optimus and @CREALITY crew,

I’d be thrilled to beta test and provide feedback on the upcoming filament dryer! Based on my experience with the Space Pi and CFS, here are a few theories on what it might incorporate. Some are realistic, some are pure fantasy—but hey, one can dream! Ha!

A mini-CFS??? :smirk: Okay okay, I know… dreaming. Gotta start off strong here!

•	**Enhanced Sealing:** The Space Pi box lacks a proper gasket and latch. The CFS has latches on each side, keeping the filament secure and the lid shut tight—this new dryer should get that same treatment!

•	**Desiccant Integration:** Expand desiccant compartments or allow user-customizable storage to maintain optimal humidity levels. Maybe even an automatic regeneration system? The current CFS and Space Pi boxes could definitely be bigger!

•	**(Fantasy) Motorized Filament Handling:** Imagine a fully automated system that seamlessly feeds filament from the dryer to the printer while communicating with the CFS. No more manual swaps or Y-connectors for a side spool (my CFS/K2 setup requires this)… just load & go.

•	**Spool Size Capabilities:** You know what they say about a BIG printer… right??? BIG SPOOLS. 🤓 Ha! The K2 devours 1kg spools so fast, so having a box that fits a 3kg or even 5kg spool would be a game-changer. It’s hungry, and it wants to be fed!!!

•	**CFS Compatibility:** Maybe this could be the dedicated carbon fiber box, keeping abrasive filaments out of the CFS to prevent contamination? Those tiny carbon fibers get EVERYWHERE. A dedicated, slightly warmer box could help contain them.

Or maybe… a Support Filament Vault? A dedicated chamber for dissolvable support filaments to keep them in perfect printing conditions for high-end materials?

•	**Uniform Heat Distribution:** How about a motorized spool rotator that slowly spins 180° clockwise, retracts, then spins counterclockwise? Like one of those swinging ships at a carnival. 🚢 That would prevent tangles while helping distribute heat more evenly, reducing strain on the fans and potentially cutting drying time.

•	**High-Temperature Capability:** Just a hunch here, but I feel like when I put filament that's cold into my rig, I notice more VFAs and layer inconsistencies. During winter, we don't really heat our home and it gets really cold in my office. I imagine it's like throwing ice into a bowl of soup. 😂 A pre-heated spool chamber could reduce thermal shock and improve print quality & consistency. We’ve got the 350°C nozzle and 60°C chamber… I swear I won’t burn down my house 😇😬.

•	**Creality Cloud Connectivity:** Remote humidity monitoring, drying status alerts, and real-time notifications from Creality Cloud. Maybe even direct filament painting inside Creality Print 6? Okay okay… now it really is starting to sound more like a mini-CFS with integrated heating, the fantasy continues!!! Hahaha.

•	**Intuitive Touchscreen Display:** The CFS and Space Pi screens already look great, but the Space Pi touchscreen requires too much pressure. A smoother, more responsive interface would be a huge quality-of-life upgrade.

I’m located in The Woodlands, TX, where our relative humidity averages 75%+. Our muggiest months are just ahead :hot_face:! That said, humidity controlled enclosures and boxes are my best friend. It would be a great environment to put your new dryer to the test! Oh… and if you couldn’t tell, I love to write!!! So you’ll get plenty of feedback!

Thank you!

I understand you have had problems with your Creality products so
any comments you have about these specific issues can be posted under their respective topics instead of hijacking this thread with unsubstantiated comments.

If you are interested in becoming a BETA tester to help improve a new product this is an opportunity to help.

First let’s get one thing out the way. The issues I am having on the K2 I expect. As early adopter of tech this happens.

I was disappointed with the time to ship so bought a 2nd printer adjusting to your time to ship. The disappointment of everything is over. One printer I am waiting on parts for which is a complete mess but yet still prints which surprised the hell out of me. The bed just needed me to replace the heat element to get it to print.

Now onto the topic

Why would you release a new warmer after just releasing a dual and single box.

I have a cheap heat box the only issue I have is it has a 7 hr limit on the heater.

I wouldn’t mind a clock on it

The one I have has different settings for different material.

I would like it to have a ptfe connector on it so I can have a enclosed route to my K1Max or K2’s

I am still a relatively newbie when it comes to 3d printing.

4 spool filament dryer that allows you set different temperatures for each compartment, so you can heat PLA in one chamber and ABS in another. It will also be able to take larger rolls like 3kg etc.

As i do when I share the models I make, I will share my experiences with it on all my social media channels :slightly_smiling_face:

I’d be happy with a 3kg or even a 5kg roll drier, that would be great.

This new product will offer the user the ability to use multiple filaments with their machines and also allow the user to express themselves via this way

13

Oh so it basically will be a CFS with a heater!

But you need different material at different temps.

A mini CFS with 2 rolls? :wink:

I don’t believe @Optimus is describing a CFS product here. It sounds like a new and improved Dry Box for filaments.

Maybe it will have an outlet vent with a fan like we have discussed here which the other ones don’t have.

16

Why would you put vents in it? You then promote opportunity to allow moist air in. It will not be a very controlled environment. If you’re trying to get rid of the moisture you would need to have a wicking element to collect it.

17

Because whilst you are heating the filament to drive off the water the air in the chamber gets saturated, vent it with fresh air and you can evaporate more moisture. Possibly could be a vent that opens when the air humidity gets to a certain level to refresh the air in the chamber.

I would love to be a beta tester as that sounds kind of fun.
I’m going to guess;

  1. Maybe larger to hold more rolls, like 4.
  2. A start timer so you can load up and it would come on later.
  3. RFID reader so it can self-adjust to the correct settings for RFID filament.
    I’m about to retire and I’m currently working from home so I have time and even more time in the future.
    I currently have K1, K1 Max & Ender 3 V3. (all are running right now :grinning:) and plan on the Hi whenever it’s released. (hope soon :grinning:)

Now, THAT is a good idea !

I’m thinking the feature will be a Filament dryer and CFS system in one. It’ll have separate compartments to control temperatures of each filament. Totally commited to sharing this thing,
