The 360° drying system creates a temperature distribution inside the PolyDryer™. For that reason, a single temperature can't represent the true situation as it varies around the spool. Other elements like the room temperature, initial moisture content, spool size, and material type and weight also affect the internal temperature of the box.

The sticker on the dry dock lists all suitable power levels for most common materials. In general, using higher power level and longer drying time can achieve better drying result. If you are using materials from other brands, please check the softening temperature of the filament first before using a higher power level.

The maximum capacity of PolyDryer™ box is 205 Φ * 78(H) mm. This means all 1kg spools or less from Polymaker can fit in the PolyDryer™ and most 1kg spools or less from the other brands can fit in the PolyDryer™. For smaller spools use the internal spool roller for a better experience.

The PolyDryer™ Box was designed with excellent sealing and silica gel desiccant to extend your filament storage time. In our internal experiment( an environment of 20℃ and 60% RH), the humidity inside the PolyDryer™ Box changed less than 5% in 30 days. In a comparison test the sealing capability of the PolyDryer™ Box is ~1.5 times that of a DIY storage box.

Yes, the PolyDryer™ has a continuous drying mode. Materials can be either pre-dried on the PolyDryer™ before printing or the PolyDryer™ can be set to continuous drying mode for drying while printing.

As the hot air removes moisture from your material, the silica gel desiccant helps out by soaking up some of that moisture, making the drying process even more efficient. After a while, you might notice some of the pink desiccant turning back to blue, especially when drying on power level 3. This change is a good sign as it means there's less moisture inside the PolyDryer™ Box, and the hot air is doing a great job of drying both your material and the silica gel desiccant at the same time. It's PolyDryer™ Box, letting you know that everything's working just as it should!

For best results seal the PolyDryer™ box with the airlocks as soon as the drying cycle has finished. If you aren't able to do this, continuous mode continues to dry the filament until you're able to reseal after a drying cycle. And continous drying mode will not stop until you turn it off.

The desiccant is reusable, if more than 30% of the desiccant turns dark green, drying desiccant is recommended. There are 3 ways to share with you:

1.Use an oven to heat at 100-120°C for 1-2 hours until the desiccant turns orange.
2.Use a microwave, select a low power level, heat for 30 seconds, then flip the desiccant, and heat for another 30 seconds until the desiccant turns orange.Place the PolyDryer™ Box without the filament on the Dry Dock and use Dry Dock with power level 3 and dry for ~8 hours until the desiccant turns orange. The desiccant should be placed in the same orientation as the screen on the Dry Dock, which facilitates the hot air blowing onto the desiccant and improves drying efficiency.

Yes, please go to our webshop or find a reseller to get the quotation and more delivery information. But kindly be noted that PolyDryer™ box should be used with Dry Dock together for drying and store your filaments.

Different power levels are directly related to the temperature at the Dry Dock air outlet. With power level 1, the temperature at the Dry Dock air outlet is ~50°C. With power level 2, it is ~60°C. With power level 3, it is ~70°C.

Polymaker is planning to develop the larger drying box, please stay tuned to us.

The final state after drying is related to the drying setting, initial moisture content of the material, external environment, etc., So the optimal humidity of PolyDryer™ box is:

With power level 1, the final relative humidity was between 20-30%.
With power level 2, it was between 15-25%.
With power level 3, it was between 10-20%.
