Product Information

Print receipts destroy billions of trees every year. Moreover, they are bad for our health and can even cause skin cancer. It’s important to store filament for 3D printing in a way that protects it from moisture, since that can cause several quality issues with both your prints and your 3D printer during the 3D printing process. Nylon, PETG, and PLA filaments are especially sensitive to water and readily absorb it from the humidity in the air. While wet filament usually doesn’t appear any different than dry filament while on the spool, there are a few major indicators that your 3D printing filament has absorbed moisture. Brittleness Push down lever toward the upper body of the plug and lever plug upwards. Resistance will be encountered but the plug will pop out. Never insert the lever into the funnel or slot.

Using a manual storage solution similar to that of food and produce storage, the PrintDry Vacuum Sealed Filament Storage System is a set of five round plastic containers that are large enough to fit most standard spool sizes. Each container can fit one spool and has a hole in the lid that allows you to pump out any air from the container with the included hand pump. Some enclosed 3D printers store their filament internally, preventing it from absorbing too much moisture from the ambient air. How do you store open 3D filaments? Este sistema isotérmico con control de temperatura ha sido diseñado para trabajar principalmente con productos que necesitan ser almacenados y transportados durante 72 -120 horas en tres rangos de temperatura: de 2°C a 8°C (refrigerado) y de 15°C a 25°C (ambiente). If customers have still received a physical receipt for something, they can still take a picture so that it can be integrated into the dashboard. PolyBox’s journey

Why Polycase?

Image: Ken73 via Thingiverse This solution can be used with any appropriately sized vacuum bag Plastic Storage Boxes PolyBox™ can print with two 1kg spools simultaneously perfectly suited to dual extrusion printing or use one 3kg spool for longer prints or industrial users. Cut the 150cm filament guide tube to suit your setup. PolyBox™ is a filament storage box that allows you to store materials in their optimum printing environment while still being able to print with them. PolyBox™ features a thermo-hygrometer to monitor your filaments inside the box. The humidity is regulated by large desiccant bags which absorb moisture from the air inside the PolyBox™. The PolyBox™ has been specifically designed for hygroscopic materials such as PolySmooth™, PVA or PolyMide™. The PolyBox™ can house two 1kg spools simultaneously or one 3kg spool and is compatible with both 1.75mm and 2.85mm filament diameters. Key Features: Not only does wet filament cause significant print quality issues like uneven extrusion and bubbling, but it can also cause mechanical problems in your printer. Wet filament can lead to wear on your nozzle, and introduce clogs and jams. These are just a few of the reasons why keeping your 3D printer filament dry should be a major priority. Signs of Wet Filament How easy and accessible your filament storage solution is to use can make a huge difference in your user experience. A storage solution that allows you to print directly from the container is more convenient than, say, vacuum-sealed bags that only protect the filament while it’s not in use. How to Choose Desiccants for Filament Storage Rechargeability

This can cause a lot of issues during the printing process. Your filament can snap mid-print, and if your 3D printer doesn’t have a filament sensing feature, your print will fail. It’s also easy for the filament to get jammed in the extruder during a filament change, so that is a possibility as well when you have to feed the end of the filament into the printer again. Print Quality Reusable desiccants are a much more affordable solution to removing moisture from wherever you store filament than disposable varieties. Reusable desiccant can be placed in the oven, microwave, or food dehydrator to dry out and recharge each time it fills with too much moisture and can’t absorb any more. This will cut down on your waste if you require lots of desiccant to dry filament. Color Indication In general, 3D printer filament does not have a shelf life. However, the lifespan of the filament may be shortened if it is stored in a very humid or moist environment.

Poly Box

Humidity monitoring measures how much humidity is in the air, which is a useful feature to have in your filament storage solution. Knowing how high the humidity is inside your dry cabinets, storage boxes, etc. can help you ensure your filaments won’t absorb moisture from the air while in storage. Price

This dryer features electronic heating, drying, and a humidity sensor with a real-time display. This allows you to dry out and salvage filament spools that have already absorbed moisture and need it removed or to ensure that a new roll of filament is completely dry before using it for the first time. The PolyBox can hold two 1kg spools or one 3kg spool and is compatible with 1.75mm and 2.85mm filament. The spools are placed on bearings and the filament is fed through one of the 6 exit holes. This means that the PolyBox is compatible with almost any printer setup.PolyBox is working closely with Ignite, Newcastle University, the National Innovation Centre for Data (NICD) and the Arrow program to improve its machine learning algorithm, develop better data analysis, and better understand the North East business needs. How PLA filament is stored is an important consideration for filament quality. It’s best practice to store filament in a filament storage container when not in use. This will help keep the filament from absorbing moisture from the air and will help maintain its quality and printability.
