【3D Printing Application】The Most Powerful Dry Box, No More Failed 3D Prints!
For those of you who work with 3D printing technology every day, you're probably familiar with "dry box" equipment to keep your 3D printing filaments in optimal condition! But have you ever considered the precise necessity and importance of a dry box? What follows will change your perspective, revealing functions you never knew a dry box could have:
Taiwan has a humid climate, with humidity often above 70% RH. 3D printing filaments in a humid environment will absorb moisture from the air, which may not be obvious on the surface. However, if moisture-laden 3D printing filaments are used directly, it can lead to many 3D printing problems, such as nozzle clogging, rough surfaces, granular textures, and printhead damage.
When using damp 3D printing filaments for 3D printing, after the material is melted and extruded through the nozzle, due to the moisture, it cannot adhere smoothly to the build plate and instead accumulates in the nozzle. If not noticed in time, the material will continue to build up, forming a solid block of plastic. Once cooled, it will be very difficult to clean and may even cause destructive damage.
Don't panic! We've thought of everything for you! Avoiding the situations described above is super simple, as long as you properly dry and store your 3D printing filaments.
We previously introduced the practical application of industrial parts (click here to view), including industrial actuators for the large company "Schubert" and conveyor belt parts for the "Heineken" beer factory. Both major brands used Ultimaker 3D printers in conjunction with the Material Station for production. Over time, they successfully and stably produced many tools that can be directly used on machines!
The Material Station is part of the Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle 3D printer, and it's a key contributor to keeping materials in optimal condition. It can maintain the humidity inside the box below 40% and has a large capacity with six spool holders, allowing it to store six rolls of 3D printing filament simultaneously.
Not only that, but each of the six filament holders in the Material Station has a run-out detection function. When one roll of filament is used up, it automatically switches to the next roll, preventing 3D printing from being interrupted due to filament depletion. The internal branching guide tubes also automatically prevent filament tangles, speeding up the overall printing process, increasing machine automation time, and reducing the need for manual filament changes.
The seemingly inconspicuous Material Station actually combines various intelligent functions! It automatically helps you maintain materials in their optimal environmental state, while also freeing users from spending time manually handling repetitive changeovers, saving time and ensuring the quality of every 3D print.
