PolyDryer Box

Keeping 3D printing filament dry is crucial to ensure high-quality prints. Moisture absorption can lead to uneven extrusion, nozzle clogs, and poor layer adhesion, resulting in low-quality prints. Properly storing the filament in specialized containers with desiccants helps maintain material integrity and printing performance.

The PolyDryer Box from Polymaker is a versatile filament drying and storage solution created in collaboration with FabNotion to meet the needs of 3D printing professionals. This innovative product comes in three versions:

1. The PolyDryer Box for storage and humidity monitoring - 235 x 120 x 235 mm
2. The complete PolyDryer solution which includes both the storage box and the removable Dry Dock drying unit - 55 x 120 x 235 mm.
3. The PolyDryer Dock allows you to create a scalable filament drying system, as it enables multiple units to be connected together.

The 360° airflow of the PolyDryer, together with the efficient 65 W PTC heater and a powerful 24 V fan, ensures consistent and uniform drying of the filament spool without causing any damage. Its drying process is efficient and includes three power presets suitable for most 3D printing materials such as PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, PC, PA, PVA, or PVB.

The product is designed for continuous filament drying during storage, offering excellent sealing and thermal safety control (thermal switch and NTC thermistor on the PCB). This level of control over the drying and storage environment ensures that filaments are always kept in perfect condition for high-quality 3D prints.

In addition, users can customize the setup with printable accessories to hang or connect the boxes together. The PolyDryer Box is compatible with various spool sizes up to 1 kg and includes a central support for smooth filament rotation. A 50 cm PTFE tube is included to facilitate direct feeding into the 3D printer.

The design of the PolyDryer takes user intent into account for flexibility and convenience. With a single dryer, users can connect multiple PolyDryer Boxes to keep their filament collection in optimal condition. This allows users to prepare for multiple projects by keeping filament properly stored and ready to use.
