Hopefully they'll address this issue, but for now, it's just a quirk of the product. Once set, it does what it's supposed to do. However, the quirks are consistent, and haven't made the product unusuable. Only issue I have is that the touchscreen can be a little bit quirky.you may try to cycle settings and change one instead. (Other filaments aren't so finicky, and may not need maintenance drying, but this will ensure you have a good spool prior to running a print job.) It may take some creative placement depending on how your printer feeds filament, but the drying cycle can be used for maintenance of the filament during a print. Also, it lets me print on humid days without worrying about the filament having too much moisture. I had far fewer extruder skips, and I could print at a lower temperature without losing layer or bed adhesion (don't need to overcook PTFE tubes anymore).
DOUBLETAKE ENCLOSURE TRIAL
The result.my print quality improved dramatically, although I needed to recalibrate all of my settings (which were set by trial and error around problematic filament). This was definitely driving out the moisture. For example, when I first used this on clear PETG, the ambient humidity in the room was 30%.after an hour, the humidity in the dryer was 65%. The humidity sensor is a definite plus because you can see some results.

I just underestimated HOW hygroscopic it was until I used the transparent stuff, or even my light gray filament and watched half my print turn to swiss cheese. I knew PETG was hygroscopic (readily absorbs water), and I'd tried the trick of cooking it in the enclosed housing with the heated bed.

What is everyone's opinion of him? Is it really worth buying?
