Summary

A four-spool filament dryer with two independent heating chambers that reach 85°C, aimed at people printing nylon, PC and carbon-fibre filaments. Check the lid seal and rollers when it arrives: owners report unit-to-unit variation there.

Strengths

  • Reaches 85°C, which few dryers in its class do, so nylon and PC filaments dry faster.
  • Two independent chambers let you dry two materials at different temperatures at once.
  • Desiccant regenerates automatically, so there are no bags to buy or replace.
  • Dry-and-print ports feed the printer straight from the chamber for continuous printing.
  • Quiet at 46-48 dB, and one owner reports 85°C in about 10 minutes.
  • The touchscreen is called responsive and intuitive by most owners.

Weaknesses

  • The lid seal and rollers vary between units; at least one owner got no gasket or sealable vents, another a deformed roller.
  • Support removal for PC stayed difficult even after drying in the independent test.
  • PTFE tubing for the dry-and-print ports is not included.
  • No replacement-parts catalog is published, so long-term repair is guesswork.
  • The unit is physically large for a dryer, roughly CFS-sized.
  • Early firmware had UI bugs, though owners say updates fixed some.

Drying performance

3D Printing Industry ran the only substantive independent test (2025-08-19). They dried PAHT-CF for 12 hours at 80°C, PA6 for 10 hours at 80°C, and PC and PA-GF for 8 hours at 80°C, then printed test models before and after. Nylon-based filaments improved most: stringing disappeared, surfaces smoothed and bridging accuracy came back. PC improved less, and support removal stayed hard either way.

Lid seal and rollers

Owner reports disagree on build quality. Roller material is disputed too: one owner calls them high-quality steel, another says cheap injection-moulded plastic with no metal core and one deformed, non-functional roller. Nobody has published a failure rate, so treat this as unit-to-unit variation rather than a confirmed defect. Check the lid and spin the rollers when yours arrives.

Running costs and upkeep

Desiccant regenerates during operation, so there is nothing to replace. Keep the passthrough ports clean and wipe the interior. A fan self-diagnosis stops the unit if the fan fails. Electricity is the main running cost: 0.124 kWh in single-chamber mode and 0.208 kWh in dual-chamber mode for one hour at 85°C, and single-chamber mode uses up to 40% less energy. PTFE tubing for the dry-and-print ports is not included and must be bought separately.

Is it worth it?

At $179 from B&H Photo (2025-08-22) it is a strong buy for a four-spool dryer with 85°C, dual independent chambers and dry-and-print passthrough; most competitors such as Sunlu S4 and Polydryer top out at 50-70°C. At Creality’s own $199 it narrows, and above $220 it is weak unless you specifically need 85°C drying. PB Tech lists it at NZD $260 and Creality Singapore at SGD $222.90.

Which model this is

This page covers the Creality SpacePi X4, model 4005010102 for the US plug; 4005010100 (EU), 4005010106 (UK), 4005010107 (AU) and 4005010112 (Brazil 220 V) are the other region variants. The US Amazon listing is ASIN B0GKLT6RZ6. Do not confuse it with the SpacePi X4L, which tops out at 75°C and uses a digital screen instead of the 3.2" IPS touchscreen.
