My Polydryer Boxes and AMS 2 Pro are nice but they don’t really offer higher temperatures.
I saw a lot of good reviews of the Creality Space Pi X4 and I saw a big amount of complaints about Bambu AMS HT. Both go up to 85 °C.
Creality is cheaper (currently €112,63 vs. €119,00 for AMS HT), offers more space for spools (4 vs. 1), can run independent from the printer and like I wrote - internet reviews I found generally praise the Space Pi X4.
I couldn’t use the Creality for automatic multi-material printing on the H2D though, only AMS HT could do.
Is there anyone of you having both dryers? If so, would you buy either of them again or not anymore? Are there other pros and cons than the ones listed above?
I’m pretty sure there are some more pros in favour of the AMS HT, too?!
Please, I don’t want this to be a general discussions about dryers, if possible, there are plenty of these discussions. I’m really only interested to hear from people who own those specific ones.
Thank you!
I have both and I use the Pi X4 much more. I was using it to feed filament to my A1, but I am now using cereal boxes with ball-bearing rollers that I think works better.
I do most of my drying in the Pi.
The AMS HT is nice, but seems overpriced for what it is. One drying spot is very limited, last night I placed 4 rolls of petg in the Pi and just about done now…
Ok, I removed the AMS HT from my shopping cart and bought the Space Pi X4 which I received this morning.
First impression: Quality seems good, user interface self explanatory, 112 € for four spool slots with up to 85 °C a fair price…
Saw some more reviews in the meantime and basically everyone is happy with this dryer.
Another Update:
I measured the air temperature (with a “proper” testo temperature meter) inside the SpacePi X4, set to 85 °C, today. While I thought it likely will not reach the real 85 °C I was quite impressed after I had it running for 20 minutes: One side hat an air temperature of 86.2 °C the other one was at 85.5 °C.
