Filament Dry Box for 3D Printing - US Warehouse

Full Feature List

• Buckle design to lock the cover tight Rubber seal strips to isolate external moisture Desiccants are placed inside to absorb moisture LCD displays real-time temperature and humidity Two couplers to fit different filament feeding directions on different 3D printers Aluminum spool holder inside to support filament spool What is a filament dry box? A filament dry box is designed to protect the filament from dust and moisture. Clean and dry filament ensures better print quality
• stronger printed parts
• and meanwhile less risk of hotend jamming. Why we should use dry filament? If your 3D print has a poor surface finish
• it's probably caused by the wet filament you're using. But we have more reasons to use dry filament in our daily 3D printing. 1st
• the dryer your filament is
• the stronger parts you get. When filament absorbs moisture from the environment
• hydrolysis (a symptom of polymer chain degradation) happens. The moisture acts like a knife. It cuts long polymer chains into much shorter ones. During this process
• the performance of the filament degrades. It becomes weaker
• hence you get a really weak print. Different 3D print filaments vary in the hygroscopicity (water absorption rate). of different 3D printer filament types in a temperature of 23℃. Check it to see what water absorption rate your filament is at. 2nd
• if you're using wet filament
• you have an increased possibility of hotend jamming. Moisture inside wet filament changes the polymer viscosity while melting. For some polymers
• moisture increases friction
• for other polymers
• increased moisture leads to less viscosity
• but increased porosity and degradation of polymer chains. Sometimes
• really wet filament produces steam and separates the base material.
