With PolyBoxTM you’ll experience no more 3D printing problems caused by filaments absorbing moisture such as extreme oozing, rough surface quality, weaker 3D prints, 3D printer damages and so on! PolyboxTM includes a built-in high-precision hygrometer and silica gel desiccant sachets to control and absorb moisture from the air. The humidity within the box is maintained below 15% to prevent the filament from absorbing moisture during the storage and even during the 3d printing process. It is specifically designed for Nylon, PVA, PolySmoothTM and other highly hygroscopic 3D printing materials. However, its good practise to keep all 3D printing filaments inside the PolyBoxTM to preserve the optimum printing quality. PolyBoxTM is compatible with both 1.75mm and 2.85mm filaments and can contain up to two 1kg spools or one 3kg spool! 4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read these instructions. Keep these instructions. Heed all warnings. Follow all instructions. PolyBoxTM comes with silica gel desiccant sachets, FDA certified, non-toxic, tasteless, non-corrosive, non-polluting. Do not use other types of desiccant. Do not eat the desiccant, if ingested, seek medical advice immediately. In case of desiccant contact with the eyes, flush with plenty of water and get medical attention. PolyBoxTM contains small parts. Keep out of the reach of children or animals. Small parts may be hazardous if swallowed or may cause choking if ingested or inhaled. PolyBoxTM contains a high-precision hygrometer including a button battery. Don’t mistake batteries for pills. Don’t store batteries near pills or in pill bottles. Don’t leave them on bedside tables or place them loose in your pocket or purse. Look at every medicine you intend to swallow. Turn on the lights, put on your glasses, read the label and look at the medicine itself.  Never put batteries in your mouth, to test, to hold, or for any reason. They are slippery and easily swallowed. Keep out of the reach of children or animals. Please dispose of batteries in a designated collection point. 5 SPECIFICATIONS Desiccant type Silica gel Desiccant specifications 4*Desiccant sachets 100g Supported filament spools 2 spools ≤ 1kg or 1 spool 3kg Humidity range 10-99% Accuracy ±5% Resolution 1% Response 10 seconds Temperature range -50~70 °C Accuracy ±1 °C Battery specifications LR44*1 Product size 315(L)*190(W)*310(H) Package size 196(L)*320(W)*320(H) Product weight (without desiccants and wires) 1.150kgs Package weight 1.700kgs INFORMATION ON DISPOSAL FOR USERS OF WASTE ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT This symbol on the product and/or accompanying documents means that used electrical and electronic products should not be mixed with general household waste.

Remove the battery from the package, insert it in the designed compartment and put back the cover. Check if the front display switches on. When you notice that the hygrometer display is fading, replace the button battery 1.5V LR44. Note: The provided battery will last approximately 3 months. 2 To install the rods Slide two bearings onto both ends of the steal rod, then snap the rod and bearings into the PolyBox 3 To install the desiccant sachets Remove one set of desiccants from the package and check if the sealed bag is intact. If there are any leaks, please dry the sachets before using it. The provided desiccant can be dried at 80-90˚C for 8 hours to restore the drying capacity and be reused. Note: other types of desiccant may not have the ability to recover and be reused. Do not expose the desiccant sachets to the air for too long. We highly recommend silica gel for the type of desiccant. Put the two desiccant bags into the PolyBoxTM, one in each compartment as shown below. Close the two compartments with the two grids. 10 3 To install the filament guide Cut the filament guide according to your need (Distance from the PolyBoxTM to the 3D printer) and insert it in the rubber holes on the back or on the top. 4 To place the spool Place the spool on the rods as shown below and make sure it rolls freely. Note: Make sure the material is fully dried before putting it in the PolyBoxTM. Insert the filament in the hole from the inside and push it until it exits from the other side of the filament guide as shown below. With your hands carefully slide the cover in the base as shown below. You should feel a small friction which ensures the fit. Make sure the cover fits correctly in the base to ensure an airtight environment for the spools. Do not open the PolyBoxTM too frequently and close all the unused rubber plugs to preserve the dessicant. Gently pull the filament out to check if the spool rolls smoothly. After 10-30min you should already see the inside humidity dropping below 15%. The time will depend on the room humidity. The hygrometer should always display a humidity level below 15%. Note : The minimum humidity level that can be displayed is 10% If the hygrometer displays a humidity level above 20%, replace the desiccant. Caution: Be careful, at the end of the spool, the filament might get stuck in the PolyBoxTM and the 3d printer can drag the PolyBox. 11 CONTACT INFORMATION Visit polymaker.com and follow us on our social media channels for product updates, videos, tutorials and more! facebook.com/Polymaker.3D twitter.com/Polymaker_3D youtube.com/Polymaker instagram.com/Polymaker_3D pinterest.com/Polymaker T thingiverse.com/Polymaker_3D facebook.com/groups/Polymaker For questions or further information, please contact us at: 800 Naxian Road Building 1, Unit B, Suite 903 Pudong District Shanghai 200120 China E-mail: inquiry@polymaker.com 12 PolyBoxTM 使用手册 polybox.polymaker.com 内容 产品概要 16 重要安全提示 17 规格参数 18 装清单 19 PolyBox™主要部件 20 组装PolyBox™ 22 联系方式 24 15 产品概要 感谢您购买Polymaker出品的3D打印线材防潮盒（PolyBox™）。PolyBox™可以为您 彻底解决3D打印材料长时间暴露在空气中吸水后造成的各种打印问题。例如多余的拉 丝，模型表面毛糙，层间结合力降低，打印机堵头等现象。 PolyBox™内置高精度温湿度计，利用硅胶干燥剂吸收空气中的水分，使盒内的空气湿 度长期保持在10%以下，能有效防止3D打印线材在打印和储存过程中吸水受潮。特别 适合于Nylon，PVA，PolySmooth等因高吸水率而难以长期储存的3D打印材料。 PolyBox™兼容性强，可以放置2卷1kg以下或1卷3KG级别的线盘，同时兼容1.75mm 和2.85mm线材。 16 重要安全提示 PolyBox™自带的干燥剂为硅胶干燥剂，通过FDA认证，无毒无味，无腐蚀，无污染，可与 药品、食品直接接触。请勿使用其他种类干燥剂。 请将干燥剂置于儿童或动物无法接触的地方，请勿食用干燥剂，如误食后请及时就医。 如果硅胶干燥剂不慎入眼，请用大量水冲洗并及时就医。 PolyBox™内包含细小零件，请置于儿童或动物接触不到的地方，若吞食细小零件可能会造 成成噎塞或严重伤害。 PolyBox™内的高精度温湿度计包含一枚纽扣电池，请不要让儿童玩纽扣电池，并让纽扣电 池远离儿童； 为防止意外，请勿将电池置于口中。 在吞食药片时进行确认，以免将纽扣电池误认为药丸或药片而吞食。 请勿随意丢弃纽扣电池。 请勿随意丢弃丢弃电子温湿度计或参见当地电子垃圾分类处理办法。 17 规格参数 干燥剂类型 硅胶干燥剂 干燥剂规格 2组100g*2替换装 支持的3D打印线盘 2卷1KG以下线盘或1卷3KG线盘 湿度测量范围 10~99% 湿度测量准确度 ±5% 湿度显示分辨率 1% 湿度刷新周期 10秒 温度测量范围 -50~70℃ 温度测量精度 ±1℃ 电池规格 LR44*1 产品尺寸 315(L)*190(W)*310(H) 包装尺寸 196(L)*320(W)*320(H) 产品重量 （不含干燥剂和线材） 1.150kgs 包装重量 1.700kgs 18 包装清单 包装清单如下： 26.1 C 15 橡胶孔塞 *6 % 温湿度计 *1 温湿度计电池 LR44 *1 出丝导管 150cm*1 PolyBox™ （透明盒盖及底座） *1 线盘架轴 *4 轴承 *4 干燥剂槽前盖板 x1 硅胶干燥剂 2组， 每组100g*2 干燥剂槽后盖板 x1 19 PolyBox™主要部件 1 底座 2 盒盖 3 导空及橡皮孔盖 4 干燥剂槽 5 温湿度计 20 组装PolyBox™ 1 安装PolyBox™温湿度计电池 拨下PolyBox™内置的温湿度计电池盖板。 取出包装中的LR44纽扣电池，+级朝外放入温 湿度计中，并盖上盖板。 检查温湿度显示是否正常。温湿度计LCD屏幕 显示暗淡时，请更换电池。电池规格为1.5V LR44 1颗。 注意：附送电池预计能使用3个月左右时间。 2 装入钢管 将两个轴承推入一根钢管两端，然后将两个轴 承端分别卡入Polybox的底座上。 3 放入干燥剂包 取出1组干燥剂，检查干燥剂包装真空度是否完 好，如果漏气请烘干干燥剂后再使用。失效的 硅胶干燥剂可以在80-90°C下烘干8小时后恢 复干燥能力。 注意：其他种类干燥剂可能不具备恢复能力。 请使用硅胶干燥剂，不建议使用其他种类干燥 剂。 在PolyBox™两侧干燥剂槽内各放入1包100g硅 胶干燥剂。 安装干燥剂隔板。 22 3 4 安装出丝导管 请根据您的需要裁剪出丝导管长度，并插入橡 胶塞孔内。 放置3D打印线材 请将您的打印线材平稳放置在轴承杆上。 如果3D打印材料已吸水，请先按材料要求烘干 后再放入PolyBox™内。请勿频繁更换PolyBox™ 内的线材，请堵住所有不使用的出线橡胶孔， 延长干燥剂失效时间。 将3D打印线材引出导管。 双手扶在透明罩两端，将透明罩垂直插入底座 凹槽内。请确保PolyBox™透明罩安装到位，并 避免干燥剂长时间直接暴露在空气中。 抽取一段打印线材，检查抽丝是否顺滑。 大约10-30min后，检查湿度计示数是否在15% 以下。（具体时间根据室内空气湿度会有不 同。）温湿度计湿度显示最低值为10%。如果 温湿度计湿度显示超过20%，请更换PolyBox™ 内的干燥剂。 注意： 请注意观察线材使用情况，在线材将近用完时取出。防止线材末端因弯折而卡在出丝 导管内，拖动PolyBox™造成安全事故。 23 联系方式 欢迎用社交媒体分享您的使用心得： facebook.com/Polymaker.3D twitter.com/Polymaker_3D youtube.com/Polymaker instagram.com/Polymaker_3D pinterest.com/Polymaker T thingiverse.com/Polymaker_3D facebook.com/groups/Polymaker 更多信息欢迎邮件咨询： E-mail: inquiry@polymaker.com 上海市浦东新区纳贤路800号一号楼B座903室 24 www.polymaker.com
