Damp filament strings and pops, and a dryer is cheaper than a failed print · review
SUNLU’s touchscreen dryer: one spool on a built-in spindle, with heat that reaches temperature quickly and doubles as a storage holder during printing.
A touchscreen is the visible change from the S1 Plus.
A spindle turns the spool, and heat circulates around it. Both ways work.
As with the S1 Plus, this listing prints no top temperature.

Essentially the S1 Plus with a nicer screen. Pick whichever is cheaper.
