SunLu Filament drier output fitting.

Drying the filament is the #1 issue with 3D printing. Especially if you print with PETg or more exotic filaments like PP PA. The filament needs to be under 30% RH, and 5% is the best, but it is almost impossible to get there.

SunLu has one of the best driers, first; Because it has heat all around, it is well designed and fits most common spool sizes. Tuff for the 2.5 and 5kg user. Unlike me, it has a flaw, LOL. One issue was that they wrapped it up before the designer was done or should have addressed that crucial point. It's the filament port, and it's essential to work well. Feeding from the dryer is great, and the filament must be protected until it gets extruded.

What is wrong with it? It's not the right size for the PTFE tube to fit in. A fitting would be great. Also, its output is in line with the center of the spool. Then, I design a mini tube adaptor that fits tight into the bore and holds a standard PTFE tube (4 x 2mm). I ensure it feeds with an angle accommodating a 50mm radius (100 +/-45mm. spool). It can feed from the top of the spool or from under. I use it "feeding under" because I want a short line directly to the "Y" in the back of the BBL printer. If you turn it 90 degrees, you can feed from the top of the spool. It can be put in the front port as well as the backside.

Quick and easy printed solution.

Thanks for downloading it.

I had the same problem of it being too tight. Yes, I am brand new to this and would like help. Tried lowering extrusion and printing again, both were in basic BBL PETG. Checked and rechecked settings but still too tight. Thought maybe it just couldn't make the bend. Noticed in my modeling program you have a straight-through cut, NO BEND. So I gave up, but I suspect it's the overhanging walls(maybe PETG without carbon sags too much). I like what you have done though and made my own with a 1.95mm cut on the same 30 degrees as you and rounded it out all the way. It still has an overhang but only one wall instead of 2. It pushed through but is still tighter than I would like. Is the answer to open the hole even more? Also new to modeling so feel free to help me there too!

I'll gladly assist you, but it would be to copy my work. That is a no-go. You need to plus one me and I will help you. First, you need to understand the dynamic of the process. You have a wall smaller than the nuzzle and only one extrusion that makes the inside and outside of the part. That is a no-no. You model well and make nice and smooth parts, which is excellent. How do you print your part? Is the tube up fitting down, as it's a picture or on a side? Let's chat up here.

Nice, I have to try that material too. Thanks for downloading it and giving feedback. I do appreciate it. I invite you to look at my other solutions for BBL's little corks.

Printed it from PETG-CF. Fits perfectly. THX

Very snug and I had to use a file to grind out the middle for the tube to fit. I dont recommend this mod.

How long have you been printing? Are you sure it's my model's issue?
