Introduction to SUNLU
SUNLU is a recognized manufacturer in the 3D printing industry that has established itself as a reliable supplier of innovative and user-friendly solutions. With a wide range of products covering everything from filament and resin to advanced accessories such as filament dryers, they cater to beginners and professionals alike. Their commitment to quality and affordability makes them a popular player in the market and they have earned the trust of 3D printers worldwide.
What sets Sunlu apart is their ability to combine high performance with ease of use. Designed to work seamlessly with most 3D printers, Sunlu products allow users to achieve precise and stable results, regardless of the complexity of the project. In this review, I take a closer look at some of their popular products: High-Speed PLA, PLA+ 2.0, Silk PLA, 14K Standard Resin, ABS-Like Resin, and not least their FilaDryer S4.
All products have been tested with the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra resin printer and the Elegoo Neptune 4 Max FDM printer to give a fair assessment of their performance under different conditions. Let's dive into the details.
Products and Experiences
FilaDryer S4
FilaDryer S4 is a practical and efficient solution for keeping filament dry and in optimal condition. With a touch screen, you can select which type of filament to dry, ensuring the process is tailored to the material. The device helps avoid issues like moisture suction that can lead to errors during printing.
The beauty of the FilaDryer S4 is that it can hold up to four rolls of filament at once. It is possible to pull the filament up to your printer separately or simultaneously while the rolls are still in the dryer and heating up. This makes it incredibly convenient and efficient for longer print projects.

Lessons learned
FilaDryer S4 was both easy to use and highly efficient. I noticed a significant improvement in print quality on PLA+ 2.0 after drying. The device is also quiet and easy to integrate into any 3D printer setup. Priced at £124.99, with the current offers, it is a worthwhile investment for any 3D printing enthusiast.
