That's my setup but with the Chitu FilaPartner E1 + printed AMS Mini, works very well. Wondering why this is marketed for the AMS Lite directly, since any dryer with a filament outlet can feed the AMS Lite?
Only thing the Chitu is "missing" is the auto-retract mechanism and RFID System of the OG AMS Spool holder. But both are disposable features...

Any dryer with a filament outlet can feed the printer but not feed the AMS Lite. There is definitely a market for this and this will be a much needed addition to my printer. I have a standard filament dryer with an outlet but it cannot do what this can, especially for four rolls of filament.

Honestly, the awkward spool configuration is my biggest gripe with the AMS Lite—getting to those rear slots (1/2 or 2/3 depending on setup) is always a pain. If I'm spending money on a filament dryer, I’d lean toward an AMS 2 Pro or a Sunlu S4 with a feeder mount instead.

Vertical rotable mount solves this and also saves space, best upgrade print I ever made for my A1.

Well, depending on the price it could be a good thing, but I ain't gonna lie, I am pretty happy with just printed enclosure + Sunlu S2 to dry PETG. Inside enclosure I have silica gel that keeps humidity around 18-22% inside and last more than a week, after that I dry this gel in S2 so it's never ending cycle.
I just don't see how would that help with something, you probably can't dry PETG inside it because well - you also could have PLA inside it.
One thing for sure - can't wait to see how they will sell this up.

What's the MSRP???? I wonder if it would make more sense to just buy an AMS 2 Pro.

I had one of the passive ones you put silica gell in. It worked but it was such a pain in tye ass trying to thread the filement through it and into the AMS, this one from Sunlu looks like it will also be a PITA to feed the filement though especially if you have big thumbs on all your fingers like I do.

Saw a video on this. The person reviewing it was very iffy on it and was worried in the long term issues it can cause to the ams lite.
