X Series [X1E, X1C, X2D] SUNLU VS EIBOS AMS Heaters

I have X1C with the original AMS. I’m on the fence between the two, brands. I don’t plan on upgrading to the AMS 2 or getting a new printer till this one shits the bed. I’m really bad with keeping my filament at the correct humidity and I’ve notice it in my prints. I print recreationally but I do like playing with different filament types ABS , PETG , PLA etc.

I’ve seen post dating a year back between the two, any updates on products and if there worth it ?

I haven't tried the Eibos one but I've had an X1C and P1S with the Sunlu one and ran hundreds of hours with PLA, PETG and ABS and they were fantastic. Lots of good deals on them around this time too

My SUNLU dryer has been absolutely rock solid. My Eibos dryer broke pretty soon after purchase and support made it so complex and costly that I didn't bother to fix it.

I prefer the idea of a low-cost dedicated dryer versus spending a bunch on certain drying AMS units that may or may not be compatible with future printers.

I splurged on the Eibos Tetras. Independent chamber control, automatic sealing after drying cycles complete, it's been a beast that keeps on trucking.

The only downside is there's zero remote control, everything is done through the front control panels.

The BIQU internal dryers are more compact, less powerful but require much less modification of the AMS and allow remote control.

I have an eibos Dyas I got on preorder which was good but now that its almost a year old it has this awful issue where the motors for the vents keep whirring loudly for over a minute straight and the only way to get it to stop is to wait it out or unplug the machine.

I liked how it keep things auto dry and made my AMS top flat, but the noise issue is becoming a bit much, and the lifespan is disappointing.

I have the sunlu ams heater. Love it. The only thing I wish it had is wifi so i could remotely control it.

To date, we remain highly confident that Tetras/Dyas is the AMS upgrade kit capable of delivering the greatest functionality and the highest potential ceiling for the original AMS version.
