Filament Dryers While Printing

I’m planning on printing TPU in a humid environment so active drying is required.  Thus, I don’t want to just set the filament spools on the native hangers of the XL.

Has anyone set up 5 filament dryers  to feed filament to the 5 tool head XL?

RE: Filament Dryers While Printing

I use the Sunlu 4 roll filament dryer and it works well with OPXL5H enclosure. I also have an EIBOS that I use for filaments 4/5, but I don't like it as well. I had to build a heat distribution plate above the heat vent to spread heat. Eventually I'll replace it with another Sunlu dryer. I retrofitted the Bowden tubes with this to reduce friction since the runs are longer. I have the OPXL5H set up with .4 brass nozzles on 1/2/3 and .6 Obxdian on 4/5 so I don't have to swap hot ends all the time when I'm printing abrasive filament.
