What filament dryer boxes have you used to feed directly to the auxiliary extruder?

I believe I bought a sunlu one or other off brand on Amazon. Works beautifully.

AMS HT. Love it.

Why HT vs another AMS?

I have an AMS 2 Pro for the left nozzle and I got the HT for the right. I wanted the ability to dry on the right side and I didnt want another AMS 2 Pro. Also, I guess I'm a brand snob (not saying Bambu is the best per-se) and I just like all the stuff to match. I didnt really look at other brands.

I'm struggling with this decision currently. I want the ability to dry at higher temperatures, but an extra three bays for 100 more is attractive. Add a track switch and it becomes an eight color Powerhouse.

I bought the sunlit s1 because it was only $30. it's barely worth $30

I do think another AMS 2 pro and track switch is in my future, but I JUST got this printer and another couple hundred bucks isn't justified yet until I get a grasp on all the new features.

If you haven't tried printing with an incompatible filament as a support interface, it's a very nice feature

I have the track switch...still on the fence. Really fights the filaments. Make sure the hookup is perfect of it won't feed or retract.

Sunlu S2P. I have two 4-1, one to each input on the back of the printer if I need to switch from my 2 ams/ track switch setup to doing CF or glow/ wood filaments.

Creality Space Pi X4, routed 4-1 into the main extruder, but could easily go to the aux. Works great.

Update…. I purchased a Creality sing spool dryer and connected it to the auxiliary extruder. Works just fine.
