Can I power Polydrier directly from 24V PSU side?
Asking if there is enough spare power or anything against this solution
Drier spec:

Power budget aside -- wouldn't you want to run the dryer (also) when the printer is not running? E.g. to dry filament for a few hours in preparation of a print?

I've read some people running their filament from a heated / active drybox into the 3D printer, if it's a high temp filament it can increase flow consistency, or if it's a hygroscopic material in a damp environment (although the latter should be able to be circumvented by just drying first and then running the 3D printer from a sealed not-active drybox).

The specifications on the type plate are probably from the dryer's source. If you think you will power the dryer from the printer's power supply, forget it quickly! The power supply does not have enough free power!

That's my gut feel as well. 68W extra load seems to be a lot for the 240W power supply in the Core One -- why would Prusa have paid for that much extra power?
Have you measured the actual power consumption of the Core One by any chance? Available data vary quite a bit: Prusa states 110W (which must refer to the already heated-up state, when the nozzle and bed heaters are only active with some duty cycle). Some users on Reddit claim to have measured more than 300W while heating up (which would already push the power supply's rating).
