Ensuring the optimal moisture level is key to quality 3D-printed products, which is what the 'PrintDry' print filament dryer looks to enable. The 'PrintDry' unit houses 3D printer filament and evenly distributes the moisture level in order to reach an equilibrium for it.
Drying items that have been 3D-printed can be difficult and time-consuming because of the high moisture content of the items. This can be corrected with the 'PrintDry' unit that enables moisture levels to be optimized to ensure the best bond when the filament is used for printing. Better yet, the 'PrintDry' print filament dryer heats the filament up when a print job is being done to help ensure that undue stress isn't placed on 3D printer units.
