SUNLU S1 Plus single-spool dryer, 35 to 55 °C review

A single-box filament dryer with an adjustable 35 to 55 °C range, a 1 to 99 hour timer and a built-in fan, sized for common 1 kg spools and able to feed the printer while drying.

The bottom line A clearly described entry dryer: temperature range, timer, fan and feed-through are all on the page. Its 55 °C ceiling defines what it is for, and the listing is honest enough to name only the filaments that fit under it.

The S1 Plus listing, bullet by bullet

Five bullets: a built-in fan for even heating that keeps moisture out of PLA, PETG, TPU and other filaments; drying while printing with no waiting time; an adjustable temperature of 35–55 °C and a drying time of 1–99 hours, suited to most 1 kg filament types; a 2 inch LCD showing temperature and time, with operation under 10 dB; and better layer adhesion and smoother surfaces, even in high humidity.

A ceiling that sets the materials

55 °C covers PLA, PETG and TPU. Those are the three the title names, and the page does not stretch the list. Nylon, polycarbonate and other hygroscopic engineering plastics generally need a higher drying temperature than this box reaches.

What the screen shows

Temperature and time. There is no humidity sensor described, so the display confirms the settings rather than whether the air inside is dry. A separate hygrometer answers that question.

Printing from the box

The second bullet says the dryer works during printing. For a long job on a humid day, that is the feature that keeps the last metres of a spool as dry as the first.

Availability

At the last look-up, the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores were asking 40 € to 45 €.

It is sold in the American and British Amazon stores as well, in their own currency, which the euro figures above leave out on purpose.

Where it earns its place, and where it falls short

Strengths

  • Publishes both its temperature range and its timer range
  • A fan for circulation, which a heater alone does not provide
  • Feeds the printer while drying, so a spool stays dry through a long print

Compromises

  • A 55 °C ceiling suits PLA, PETG and TPU and falls short of nylon or polycarbonate
  • No humidity reading, so the box shows settings rather than conditions
  • Spool dimensions are not given, only the 1 kg class

Questions makers ask before buying

Can it dry nylon?

Its published maximum is 55 °C, and the materials it names are PLA, PETG and TPU. Nylon generally needs more heat, and the filament maker’s drying temperature is the one to check against this ceiling.

How quiet is it?

The fourth bullet states under 10 dB. The listing does not say how or at what distance this was measured.
