SUNLU 3D Printer Enclosure: An absolutely essential accessory!

Sunlu 3D Enclosure
3D printers are like dust magnets; if you don't cover them with something in a few days, they will be covered by a fine layer of particles. Moving parts are greased with vaseline, from which the dirt is difficult to remove. The SUNLU 3D Printer Enclosure offers excellent protection against dust and water and provides the constant temperature required...

SUNLU S2 Filament Dryer: Moistureless 360° Surround Heating

SUNLU S2 FilaDryer
Many 3D printing filaments are hygroscopic, which means they readily absorb moisture from the environment when they are removed from the original package. Moisture can turn into steam in the hot end, leading to issues like poor layer adhesion, bubbling, or even clogging of the nozzle. Using a filament dryer box such as the SUNLU S2 is essential to...
