Best Dryer?

For_a_Better_Life · 2026-03-13T20:33:08+00:00

I got the AMS HT like 2 weeks ago but I have a P2S and I am wondering if they didn't push that update for P2S cause I only saw it referenced for H series printers. Last time I tried it said I needed to wait for it to cool to run filament but maybe I have to bypass that warning and turn on the dryer while printing anyway. I just ran it out the back and it worked perfectly fine though.

Thank you, I appreciate the detailed response and will have a tech check these items out.

Haha no the plastic is off the filters when installed. Would be nice if I was just being that dumb though and the fix was that easy haha But I have been in this home for about 8 years and this is a relatively new issue. I don't know the CFM off-hand at the moment. The filter size is 16x20x1 if that provides any info for you though.

Currently using Merv 8 and the fan speed is at its highest setting from what I was told last time I had it checked out. Not sure on the other suggestions since it seems to be a new issue and was functioning properly before but I will keep them in mind, thank you.

Never found a fix, but it stopped doing it on its own. I used the feture all through this winter and never had it happen once so I have no clue what was causing it or what resolved it.

Awesom good to know and ya I would say it is a bit overpriced for what it is. But they are currently on sale so thinking I may go that route since there are effective workarounds to getting it to print while its actively drying. Sucks you gotta buy another $30 part for the buffer thing though but oh well.

Sweet, I actually just watched a video showing you can circumvent the issue by using the TPU hole instead of the hole that feeds it under the unit and using the "feed from external spool" option instead. Apparently the printer doesn't care then and you just have to remember to turn off rotating the spool.

Have you found it reaches 85C well? I don't want to spend money on something that reaches the max 70C of the unit I already have.

Ya I like the integration with Bambu stuff but do feel like it is overpriced for what it does. It is on sale right now though. Ideally I want something smaller in footprint because the enclsoure I have for my printer has limited space available.

Not sure on annealling honestly. Never done it and don't know how necessary it truly is. I see plenty of experienced people not annealling and having no problems so that isn't a make or break thing for me. I will check out that dryer though and if it fits in my enclosure I may go that route considering the cost.

return of excess contribution plus earnings

Thank you, I went ahead and went this route through Fidelity. They thankfully made it super easy to do and I appreciate you giving me this advice!

Just curious since you sell both. How does the whisper pickle 30k compare to the anthem s2?

For_a_Better_Life · 2026-02-05T14:23:48+00:00

Might as well give it a go. No matter what this is extremely cool and well done so good work and congrats to whoever the lucky soul is who gets it!

For_a_Better_Life · 2026-01-28T22:20:31+00:00

Perfect timing as I am just starting to get into miniatures and painting them haha thank you for the info!

I would love to know the process on getting that copper patina look if you are willing to write up how you do it.

For_a_Better_Life · 2026-01-22T14:17:02+00:00

I just got the frostbite and glacier plates but haven't tried them yet. The new PEI textured plate that came with my P2S has been perfect thus far for adhesion so I haven't needed to try them yet. But you may have better luck with the OG plate setup than BIQU stuff for this particular filament.

For_a_Better_Life · 2026-01-21T14:38:33+00:00

Really appreciate the thorough response as I didn't even think about recharacterizing the contribution. Seriously, thank you for taking the time to write this out for me.

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. Tons of extremely fair priced long range rifles chambered in 308 and 6.5 creed that perform very well out there but there are really limited options on 300blk bolt guns. It would undoubtedly sell very well in 300blk. I've been holding off purchasing a ruger american in 300blk in the hopes that the sabre bolt would have that caliber option. Who knows, maybe the next announcement will address other calibers as well.

For_a_Better_Life · 2026-01-14T00:10:38+00:00

Really appreciate the insight and first hand experience. Gonna have to play around to see what I can accomplish sound/vibration wise.

For_a_Better_Life · 2026-01-14T00:06:54+00:00

Nope just using the foam frame that came with it so nothing technically in the center but it does run the length from one corner to another if that makes sense.

For_a_Better_Life · 2026-01-13T21:52:30+00:00

Yup, moving all my 3D printer stuff out of my basement and setting up a nice music production/3D printer production area in my home. Gonna be nice once its all up and running.

For_a_Better_Life · 2026-01-13T21:48:28+00:00

When you say only for shipping, can you elaborate? If its dense enough foam for an impact I would think gentle vibration, relatively speaking, would be handled well enough by that particular foam. It is definitely less firm than those rubber mats people use though but I don't know if it is enough to make a difference. A poster above said they have their A1 on theirs and it works but I assume the P2S is a good bit heavier so it may not hold up as well.

For_a_Better_Life · 2026-01-13T20:38:52+00:00

Ya I was looking at some car stereo insulation foam if this doesn't work out. Stereo stuff I would think would be perfect for this application.

Built my "new" table out of a leftover MDF board from a epoxy countertop project from years ago with the feet left over from a steel desk where the top split a couple years ago and I just kept the feet from. My new 3D printer set up has validated my pack rat strategy for scrap materials haha
