Poly Plus Boxes ensure your quality produce arrives intact, fresh and well presented to your end customers and what’s more, the corrugated outer box means you can now display your branding if you should so choose. Using a storage solution with an airtight seal such as vacuum bags or storage boxes is key to keeping water from contaminating your filaments, but that won’t be enough if your filaments are already contaminated. You can dry your wet filaments with a dry cabinet, filament dryer, and even a food dehydrator. Reusable desiccants are a much more affordable solution to removing moisture from wherever you store filament than disposable varieties. Reusable desiccant can be placed in the oven, microwave, or food dehydrator to dry out and recharge each time it fills with too much moisture and can’t absorb any more. This will cut down on your waste if you require lots of desiccant to dry filament. Color Indication

Some enclosed 3D printers store their filament internally, preventing it from absorbing too much moisture from the ambient air. How do you store open 3D filaments? While wet filament usually doesn’t appear any different than dry filament while on the spool, there are a few major indicators that your 3D printing filament has absorbed moisture. Brittleness Humidity monitoring measures how much humidity is in the air, which is a useful feature to have in your filament storage solution. Knowing how high the humidity is inside your dry cabinets, storage boxes, etc. can help you ensure your filaments won’t absorb moisture from the air while in storage. Price Consider how much filament you have open at one time. If you regularly switch between several different filaments, you would benefit from a large-capacity storage solution. If you tend to use only one or two rolls at a time, a smaller capacity is most likely sufficient. Humidity In general, 3D printer filament does not have a shelf life. However, the lifespan of the filament may be shortened if it is stored in a very humid or moist environment.

Not only does wet filament cause significant print quality issues like uneven extrusion and bubbling, but it can also cause mechanical problems in your printer. Wet filament can lead to wear on your nozzle, and introduce clogs and jams. These are just a few of the reasons why keeping your 3D printer filament dry should be a major priority. Signs of Wet Filament Este sistema isotérmico con control de temperatura ha sido diseñado para trabajar principalmente con productos que necesitan ser almacenados y transportados durante 72 -120 horas en tres rangos de temperatura: de 2°C a 8°C (refrigerado) y de 15°C a 25°C (ambiente).

PolyBox™ features 6 filament guide holes and a reversible casing, this means no matter where your extruder feeds from there is an orientation that will suit your 3D printer. PolyBox™ comes with 150cm of filament guide tube to shield your filament from the PolyBox™ to the extruder. Each filament guide hole comes with a rubber plug to seal the PolyBox™ when not in use. The PolyBox can hold two 1kg spools or one 3kg spool and is compatible with 1.75mm and 2.85mm filament. The spools are placed on bearings and the filament is fed through one of the 6 exit holes. This means that the PolyBox is compatible with almost any printer setup.

Push down lever toward the upper body of the plug and lever plug upwards. Resistance will be encountered but the plug will pop out. Never insert the lever into the funnel or slot. Our Standard Poly Box range represents the traditional polystyrene shipper that has been tried and tested for many years, delivering everything from Christmas turkeys, to farmhouse cheeses, to wet fish. The Sovol SH01 Filament Dryer is a fantastic storage and drying solution for 3D printing filaments. With a capacity for two filament spools, you can easily swap between colors or feed to two printers at a time. This can cause a lot of issues during the printing process. Your filament can snap mid-print, and if your 3D printer doesn’t have a filament sensing feature, your print will fail. It’s also easy for the filament to get jammed in the extruder during a filament change, so that is a possibility as well when you have to feed the end of the filament into the printer again. Print Quality Our Poly Plus boxes have the same great insulating properties as our regular poly boxes with the added extra of an outer corrugated cardboard sleeve. The cardboard outer not only adds another thermal layer of insulation from exterior elements but also helps to further protect your goods while in transit.PolyBox™ is a filament storage box that allows you to store materials in their optimum printing environment while still being able to print with them. PolyBox™ features a thermo-hygrometer to monitor your filaments inside the box. The humidity is regulated by large desiccant bags which absorb moisture from the air inside the PolyBox™. The PolyBox™ has been specifically designed for hygroscopic materials such as PolySmooth™, PVA or PolyMide™. The PolyBox™ can house two 1kg spools simultaneously or one 3kg spool and is compatible with both 1.75mm and 2.85mm filament diameters. Key Features: Some desiccants use color indication to let you know when it can no longer absorb water. This means that the beads will change color whenever they need to be dried out or replaced. This is a nice feature because it takes the guesswork out of knowing when to change the desiccant in your storage containers. That way, you won’t leave them in longer than you should and risk your filaments taking on too much moisture. Amount This dryer features electronic heating, drying, and a humidity sensor with a real-time display. This allows you to dry out and salvage filament spools that have already absorbed moisture and need it removed or to ensure that a new roll of filament is completely dry before using it for the first time.

Lo que distingue a la gama de empaques Polybox es que cada diseño ha sido probado para los perfiles de temperatura de verano y de invierno de cara a garantizar el mantenimiento de la integridad de la carga útil durante todo el circuito logístico. PolyBox’s main focus is to use receipts data and provide reports based on users’ needs. This also gives clients a better understanding of expenses, budget allocation, and how to improve the way money is spent. It’s important to store filament for 3D printing in a way that protects it from moisture, since that can cause several quality issues with both your prints and your 3D printer during the 3D printing process. Nylon, PETG, and PLA filaments are especially sensitive to water and readily absorb it from the humidity in the air.

Customer Reviews

PolyBox™ can print with two 1kg spools simultaneously perfectly suited to dual extrusion printing or use one 3kg spool for longer prints or industrial users. Cut the 150cm filament guide tube to suit your setup.
