In this video, I review the Sovol SH02 filament dryer, a budget-friendly option that can heat up to 70°C—something rarely seen at this price point. I put it through a series of practical tests, including sponge drying, temperature consistency, and power consumption, to find out how well it really performs.

If you're 3D printing with moisture-sensitive filaments like Nylon, PETG, or TPU, a good filament dryer can make a big difference. But can a cheaper model like the SH02 actually do the job right?
