Tell me about your DIY dry box. I have a plastic box with lid that fits about 15 or so rolls of filament, and it is lined with each packet of silica beads I can get my hands on, adding more every time I open a role of filament. Not sure how efficient it is, that's why I'm asking around.
I am in the market for a dryer - what are you guys using? I am looking at the Creality Space Pi SE or Space Pi 2.

I am not taking the CFS lite - the printer has four spools to hold filament, so you are not so dependent on it loading via CFS. The CFS is a dry box, but not a filament dryer, I don't really see too much advantage in it. That being said, I don't own any CFS or equivalent, so maybe it really is...
