【Unboxing Tutorial】SUNLU 3D Printer Filament Dryer Box: Humidity Control at Your Fingertips!
High environmental humidity! How to store 3D printer filament? The average humidity in Taiwan is above 70%RH. If 3D printer filament is left in a normal temperature environment, it will absorb moisture from the air. If used directly in a 3D printer when damp, the printed object's surface may appear rough and granular, and it could even damage the nozzle. The "SUNLU FilaDryer S1 3D Printer Filament Dryer Box" is compact and space-saving, offering one-button humidity settings and super easy operation. Check out the tutorial steps now:
I. Package Contents
2. Power cord
II. Steps for Use
1. Unbox and Remove
Take the SUNLU FilaDryer S1 out of its box, open the lid, and remove the internal foam (the power adapter is inside the foam).
2. Plug in the power adapter
3. Insert 3D Printer Filament
The internal space of the SUNLU FilaDryer S1 is approximately 80 x 210 x 270 mm, which can accommodate one large roll of filament (about 750g), or two small rolls of filament (about 350g).
4. Thread the 3D Printer Filament
The SUNLU FilaDryer S1 dryer box lid has two filament exit holes. Thread the filament through one of the holes (if there is no immediate need for 3D printing, simply leave it inside the box).
5. Temperature Setting
The humidity inside the dryer box is primarily adjusted using the left/right buttons and displayed on the digital screen. After setting the temperature, long-press the left button to access the time setting.
・Left button (increase temperature)
・Right button (decrease temperature)
6. Connect to the 3D Printer
We use a Prusa 3D printer as an example. When the 3D printer filament reaches the designated humidity, remove the filament from the SUNLU FilaDryer S1 dryer box through the outlet and connect it directly to the 3D printer, allowing the material to be 3D printed in its optimal state. When starting 3D printing, keep the SUNLU FilaDryer S1 system running to maintain the 3D printer filament's moisture-proof function.
7. Dehumidification Complete
The FilaDryer S1 dryer box includes a hygrometer, which will display the current status of the 3D printer filament in real-time, allowing users to monitor the status of their 3D printing operations at any time, enhancing the overall stability of the process.
