Description
PrintDry Vacuum Sealed Filament Container – 5 Pack
The ultimate filament storage solution for 3D printing filaments to prevent the filament from absorbing moisture
- 5x Filament Containers
- 1x Vacuum Pump
- (Filament spool not included)
-
Vacuum valve and pump
A special valve and a pump are used to suck the air out to create a vacuum seal and this will prevent the moisture in the air from getting into the container.
-
Stronger structure
In order to hold a strong vacuum seal, both the lid and the container itself have been specially designed.
-
Vacuum indicator
when completely vacuum sealed, the center of the vacuum valve will collapse inward from its original dome shape.
The water content in a filament can cause various 3D printing problems, from the print being partially failed to the filament completely unprintable.
Leaving your filament spools unprotected will make it absorb moisture in the air and reduce its printability. This happens to almost all the filaments.
Therefore, it is very important to store your filaments in a dry environment to ensure a longer shelf life.
- Place your filament spool inside the container with some desiccant pouches, put on the lid and align the tabs of the lid and the container, engage the 4 strong clamps.
- Take the hand plunger and line up the bottom of the hand plunger with the center vacuum valve on the container lid. Pressing down gently on the hand plunger, simply lift the plunger handle slowly until it reaches the top of the pump, and then push down on the plunger until it reaches the bottom of the pump. Repeat this up and down motion for 4-8 times.
- To release the vacuum seal, place your index finger on the outside rim of the valve, and press it towards the center.
Recommended: 4-8 pumps. Too many pumps may cause buckling. *Release the vacuum and reapply at least once a month to prevent container base from buckling.
