About this deal

The effects of water molecules on different types of filaments can vary depending on the material properties of the filament. Some filaments are more hygroscopic than others, meaning that they are more likely to absorb moisture from the surrounding environment. The impact of moisture on filament properties can also depend on the specific printing conditions, such as temperature and humidity. At the same price, is a single spool filament dryer or a multi spool filament dryer is more suitable for you in your usage scenarios?(We are talking about ‘unit price’ here, one spool slot is recorded as 1 unit price.)

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene): ABS is a thermoplastic polymer that is widely used in 3D printing. It is moderately hygroscopic and can absorb moisture from the surrounding environment. The presence of moisture in the filament can cause warping and deformation during printing, leading to poor dimensional accuracy. Drying the filament before printing can improve the dimensional accuracy of the printed object.

Does PLA Need a Dry Box?

Eliminating moisture: A filament dryer will remove moisture from the filament, preventing issues like zits and voids resulting from the moisture.

By default, it maintains a temperature of 50℃ and dries for six hours straight. Otherwise, you can always long-press this machine’s left button to adjust the run time. One unique feature that makes the Aibecy eBOX stand out is its weight scale. As you use your filament spool, it tells you by weight how much your material is left. So for those printing with just PLA or ABS, the single spool Sunlu Dry Box suffices. But makers employing exotic filaments on multiple printers will find the S4’s ample drying capacity and swift moisture removal well worth the added investment. The PrintDry PRO holds up to 4 spools of 3D printing filament at once, and even has adjustable temperature controls which make it especially ideal for PLA and ABS users.

From a user's perspective, what characteristics does a good filament dryer need to have (e.g. volume, drying result, etc.) Water molecules can also affect the thermal properties of 3D printing filaments. The presence of moisture in the filament can lower the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the material. The lower Tg can make the printed object more susceptible to deformation or distortion at elevated temperatures. Additionally, the presence of moisture in the filament can cause the material to degrade at higher temperatures, leading to reduced thermal stability.

It’s dust-proof, sealed properly, and has enough space for 4 rolls of 0.5KG filaments, 2 rolls of 1KG filaments, or 1 roll of 3KG filament. There is even a built-in fan to circulate the hot air inside the whole dryer box, improving the moisture removal. Rather than use an oven for this Nylon which can be troublesome and not temperature-accurate, he put the spool of Nylon in the filament dryer for 12 hours at 70°C (the maximum temperature) using the useful timer feature, and it completely dried the filament like it was a new spool.It also includes a single power button from where you can turn it on and off conveniently, unlike what was demanded in the SUNLU Filament Dryer.

A Drybox is no replacement for a dryer. Drybox just slows_down the intake of moisture, it doesn’t even stop it. AMS is no exception. Some materials (Nylon) need to be printed directly from a dryer, not even drybox is sufficient if humidity is high.He previously tried other filament dryer boxes, but didn’t get results as good as with this one. An old 2-year spool of Nylon was giving him issues because it wasn’t sealed properly in a bag. PLA (Polylactic Acid): PLA is a biodegradable thermoplastic polymer that is derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane. It is less hygroscopic than ABS and is less prone to absorbing moisture. However, the presence of moisture in the filament can still cause issues such as poor adhesion between layers and clogging of the printer nozzle. While people have loved what this dehydrator brings to their fruits and various foods, it’s also worth noting that Chefman’s multi-functionality brings great value for your money. In conclusion, the Chefman’s great performance and immense storability make it a first-rate product for your filament drying needs. Continue by sealing the desiccant dryer inside the enclosed box right alongside your filament. This will help keep the moisture at bay and keep your material dry.
