Or DIY options?

I was considering building one that incorporated my old Ender 3 heated bed.  Want to be able to dry PA-CF in a reasonable time and print directly from the heater.

Sunlu E2 is the turn-key easy option, but expensive.  Look for them to go on random sale for around $230.

This is the buy once cry once option. There's no filament the E2 won't handle. Works great for me.

E2 is what I use. Regardless of what temperature you dry at, be it 100C for 12-24 hours or 85C for longer, you'll still want something that can hit 100C for annealing.

The E2 and the West3D are the only two turnkey solutions that I'm aware of. Other options are lab oven or DIY a PID controlled toaster oven.

Thanks guys!  I think I'm gonna start with the home brew setup to start with.  I wish there were more options for a single roll- I would like to have the option for different temps for each roll and I don't see that they sell an option for single roll dryers that get hot enough. I do have a Sunlu S2 and was hoping there was something comparable that got hotter

Not sure how I missed that. I just bought a Centauri Carbon 2 from them. Didn't know they sold dryers!

Anybody try the Sunlu 4 Pro?

It goes up to 85 Celsius and holds 4 spools. There are two versions on Amazon, the first for $117 and the second has dual heat zones so you can dry 2 different types of filaments at different temps for $140.
