• 360° Hot-Air Circulation: Equipped with an 80W PTC heater and built-in fan for rapid heating and uniform drying, effectively removing moisture.
• 48-Hour Timer & Real-Time Monitoring: Adjustable drying time from 0-48 hours. The built-in display monitors real-time humidity and temperature.
• Power-Off Memory Function: Automatically remembers previous settings after a power outage, eliminating the need for reconfiguration.
• Intuitive LCD Touch Screen: A 3.7-inch touch screen provides easy operation, displaying filament type, drying time, temperature, and humidity.
• Broad Compatibility: Supports 1.75mm and 2.85mm filament diameters for a wide range of filament types.

3. Setup Guide

1. Unpack the Dryer: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.
2. Verify Contents: Ensure all items listed in the "What you get in the box?" section (see Product Overview) are present. This typically includes the filament dryer box, user manual, Teflon tube, and power cord.
3. Placement: Place the dryer on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Loading Filament

1. Open the lid of the filament dryer.
2. Place your filament spool inside the dryer. Ensure the filament can unroll smoothly.
3. If connecting directly to a 3D printer, feed the filament through the designated output hole and connect the Teflon tube.
4. Close the lid securely.

4.2 Using the LCD Touch Screen

The 3.7-inch LCD touch screen provides real-time information and allows for easy control.

• Real-time Display: The screen shows current temperature (PV), set temperature (SV), real-time humidity (RH), selected material type, and remaining drying time.
• One-Key Settings: Utilize the pre-configured settings for various filament types (e.g., PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon, TPU, PLA-CF, PA-CF, ASA). Select the appropriate filament type with a single touch.
• Manual Temperature Adjustment: If needed, manually adjust the drying temperature between 45℃ and 70℃.
• Timer Setting: Set the drying duration from 0 to 48 hours using the timer function.
• Power-Off Memory: In case of a power interruption, the dryer will resume with the last used settings once power is restored.

Refer to the images titled "One-key Set for Filaments," "Parameter Power-off Memory Function," and "LCD Touch Screen" in the Product Overview section for visual guidance.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the exterior of the dryer with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the device is unplugged before cleaning.
• Interior Cleaning: Periodically check the interior for any filament dust or debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air to gently remove any accumulation.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the dryer in a cool, dry place. It is recommended to keep the original packaging for protection.
• Teflon Tube: Inspect the Teflon tube for any kinks or damage. Replace if necessary to ensure smooth filament feeding.
