Introduction
The Creality Multi-kilo Filament Dryer is designed to provide an ultimate solution for consistent, high-quality 3D prints by effectively removing moisture from your filament. Damp filament can lead to common printing issues such as stringing, clogging, and layer separation. This device ensures rapid moisture extraction with precise temperature control, resulting in superior surface finish and structural integrity for your printed objects.
It is universally compatible, accommodating 1kg, 2kg, 3kg, and 5kg filament spools, and supports both 1.75mm and 2.85mm filament diameters. The dryer features a 400W PTC hot air heater capable of reaching 70°C within 5 minutes for fast and effective drying. It also includes a timer for 1-48 hours of timed drying and a power-off temperature memory function for convenience. Constructed with fire-retardant materials and an Oxford fabric exterior that remains below 50°C during operation, safety is assured. The flexible modular chamber heater design allows the heating module to be detached and repurposed as a chamber heater for your printer or for creating a custom filament drying box.

- Күйгүзүү: Use the unit switch on the external controller to power on the device.
- Температураны коюу: The dryer offers a temperature control range of 40°C to 70°C. Use the controls on the unit switch to select your desired drying temperature. The 400W PTC hot air heater can reach 70°C within 5 minutes.
- Кургатуу убактысын коюңуз: Utilize the timer function to set the desired drying duration, ranging from 1 to 48 hours. The device features a power-off temperature memory function, retaining your last settings.
- Нымдуулукту көзөмөлдөө: The integrated hygrometer on the front panel displays the current humidity level inside the dryer, allowing you to monitor the drying process.
- Кургатуу: The dryer is equipped with a dehumidification flap. Ensure it is clear for proper moisture release.
- Кургатып баштоо: Once temperature and time are set, initiate the drying process.
- Remove Filament: After the set drying time, power off the unit and carefully remove the dried filament spool.
Техникалык тейлөө
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your filament dryer.
- Тазалоо: Periodically wipe down the exterior of the dryer with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure no dust or debris accumulates around the vents or the dehumidification flap.
- Ички тазалоо: If necessary, gently clean the interior of the chamber when the device is unplugged and cool. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Check Dehumidification Flap: Ensure the dehumidification flap is free from obstructions to allow proper moisture release during operation.
- Кабелдик текшерүү: Regularly inspect the power cable and controller cable for any signs of wear or damage. If damage is found, discontinue use and contact support.
Проблемаларды чечүү
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your filament dryer.
- Filament Still Damp Кургаткандан кийин:
- Ensure the chamber is fully closed during operation.
- Verify that the selected temperature and drying time are appropriate for the filament type. Some hygroscopic filaments (e.g., Nylon, PVA) may require longer drying times or higher temperatures.
- Check the ambient humidity. In very humid environments, the dryer may need to run longer. - Кургаткыч жылытылбайт:
- Confirm the unit is properly plugged into a working power outlet.
- Check the unit switch and ensure it is powered on and the temperature is set above ambient.
- Inspect the power cable for any damage. - Inconsistent Print Quality After Drying:
- While the dryer significantly improves print quality, other factors like printer calibration, nozzle wear, or print settings can also affect results. Ensure your printer is well-maintained.
- Verify that the filament was dried for a sufficient duration. - Hygrometer Displaying Incorrect Readings:
- Ensure the dryer chamber is sealed. If the chamber is open, it will display ambient humidity.
- If persistent issues occur, contact customer support.

Колдонуучу сунуштар
- Pre-Drying for Best Results: Always pre-dry new filament spools, especially hygroscopic materials, even if they appear dry. This proactive step can significantly improve print quality and reduce common printing failures.
- Нымдуулукту көзөмөлдөө: Pay attention to the hygrometer reading. While the dryer maintains temperature, the humidity level indicates the effectiveness of moisture removal. Lower humidity is generally better for drying.
- Utilize Modular Heating: Experiment with the detachable heating module. It can be used to pre-heat your printer's enclosure, which can be beneficial for printing with certain materials that require a warm environment.
- Optimal Drying Times: Different filament types absorb moisture at different rates. PLA and PETG might need 4-6 hours, while Nylon or PVA could require 12-24 hours or more. Adjust drying times based on filament type and ambient humidity.
- Store Dried Filament: For best results, store dried filament in an airtight container with desiccant packs immediately after drying to prevent re-absorption of moisture.
