After returning from the TCT Asia 2018 3D Printing Exhibition in Shanghai, 3DMART has truly obtained a lot of new product information from various manufacturers, and will continue to update and list
the latest products in the near future. This time, we would like to introduce a series of products launched by Polymaker, known for its alcohol polishing machine, including many
new filaments and the Polybox, a moisture-proof box to protect filaments from moisture.
I believe that friends who use FDM 3D printers must have encountered a problem: some filaments are prone to moisture (such as Polysmooth, PVA water-soluble,
nylon, TPU, etc.). Usually, we only store them in a dry cabinet when not in use to prevent them from absorbing moisture. However, during long printing sessions,
it is unavoidable for them to come into contact with air and become damp.
Polymaker's new Polybox moisture-proof box solves this problem once and for all. By placing filaments in the Polybox, you can monitor the temperature and humidity,
and pull the filament directly from the box for 3D printing. This eliminates the need to frequently change filaments during printing, allowing you to print with peace of mind without
worrying about moisture.
Next is a brief introduction to Polymaker's main series of 3D printing filaments!
This time, a total of five different types of 3D printing consumables were launched, namely PolyMide CoPA, Polylite ABS, Polylite PLA, PolyFlex, and Polysupport.
PolyMide CoPA was introduced in a special article in the previous post, so I won't go into detail here.
Polylite ABS and Polylite PLA are the most common materials used with FDM 3D printers, maintaining Polymaker's high-quality factory filaments. The key is that the price
is super cheap!!!
PolyFlex is a 3D printing filament with good elasticity, similar to TPU material. It is an essential material for creating soft and flexible objects, so there's no need to worry about
parts breaking easily. It can also adhere to the print bed without heating.
Polysupport is a support 3D printing filament. Unlike PVA water-soluble filament, which requires waiting for dissolution in water, Polysupport is an easily detachable
support. The surface after removal is also quite smooth, similar to the Ultimaker breakaway filament we introduced previously. However, this model currently has a 1.75mm
diameter. If you need 2.85mm, you can purchase breakaway.
These are the new products launched by Polymaker. Among all the products, the Polybox is the most interesting new product to me. I feel it will be very practical to use!
