D1 filament dryer - R3D

R3D, established in September 2014, is a leading 3D printing enterprise specializing in 3D filaments and printers, as well as peripherals such as filament dryers. The D1 filament dryer by R3D is a compact and efficient device designed to provide 360º omnidirectional heating. The D1 dryer heats up its chamber up to 75 ºC and the device's dehimidifier operates quietly, ensuring a great user experience. The highlight of the D1 filament dryer is that it can be mounted on a wall. This feature not only makes the workspace more organized and clutter-free, but also causes the filament path to be less curved, thus reducing the risk of filament breakage.

The D1 filament dryer has the dimensions of 262 x 100 x 276 mm, which makes it suitable for fitting in one 1 kg spool of filament in 1.75 mm, 2.85 mm or 3.00 mm diameter. This filament dryer allows for the drying of materials such as PLA, ABS, PETG, PA, TPU or ASA, making it a versatile solution for many applications. The device is equipped with an LCD screen (800 cd/m² brightness) to facilitate operation, and with a backlight for an even more intuitive operation (500 cd/m² brightness, 3V 60 mA power). D1 comes with automatic settings for many materials, which streamllines the filament drying process and ensures that the correct drying parameters are used for each material. The user can rest assured that the filament will reach optimal conditions and be ready for a problem-free extrusion.

Humidity significantly affects 3D printing filament, causing moisture absorption and print quality issues. Proper filament storage in airtight containers with desiccants or smart containers is crucial to shield filaments from humidity, ensuring ideal printing conditions and preserving quality. However, if storage methods fail or in the case of very hygroscopic filaments (PA, ABS, PC, or PETG), a filament dryer is required to dry the filament and help avoid problems like stringing, bubbling, poor adhesion, and inconsistent extrusion. The D1 filament dryer from R3D is the perfect device for those tasks thanks to its intelligent features, compact design, user friendliness, and efficiency.
