3. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to effectively store your 3D printer filament using the ELEGOO Filament Storage Bags:

1. Insert Filament: Place the filament spool into the vacuum bag. Ensure the spool fits comfortably without stretching the bag.
2. Seal the Bag: Use the provided sealing clip to firmly close the double zipper. Run the clip along the entire length of the zipper multiple times to ensure a complete and airtight seal.
3. Remove Air (Vacuuming):
   • Position your vacuum pump (sold separately) directly over the air valve on the bag.
   • Activate the pump to begin removing air from the bag.
   • Continue until the bag is visibly vacuum-sealed around the filament spool.
4. Ensure Air Valve Seal: After vacuuming, gently smooth out the area around the air valve to confirm no air is re-entering the bag. Important: Do not remove the blue label on the vent, as it helps maintain the seal.

4. Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your ELEGOO Filament Storage Bags, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: If necessary, wipe the bags with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure they are completely dry before reuse or storage. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
