1.1. Intended use of Pre-heater for Drywise dryer
The Drywise Pre-Heater add-on is designed and built for use in combination with
Drywise Inline Filament Dryer. The Drywise unit is intended to facilitate the printing
with hygroscopic materials, from short to very long prints.
When used with the Drywise Inline Filament Dryer, the Drywise Pre-Heater add-on
delivers a more exible, efcient and reliable solution for handling and processing
laments. The Drywise Pre-heater expands the material compatibility offered by
Drywise, by pre-treating the lament before it is fed into the Drywise dryer. The
attachment is essential for reliable and consistent drying of specic material types
prior to drying. These materials include carbon and glass ber lled materials and
other specic material types. Check https://drywise.co/materials for the latest list of
compatible materials.

4.1. Unboxing
In order to respect the environment, we have opted to use mostly cardboard as our
packaging material. Kindly recycle the packaging material or dispose according to
local legislation in order to help reduce the environmental footprint.
Place the box on a solid surface facing the right way up. Remove the packaging tape
and fold out the cardboard aps. Take out the manual and any other leaets. Remove
the add-on and proceed to the installation.
Choose a suitable location to place the Drywise inline lament dryer and the Drywise
Pre-Heater add-on. Install the Drywise dryer on a at, stable surface capable of with-
standing the weight of the system and on which you can safely operate to install the
add-on.

5. Operation
5.1. Recommendations
The Drywise Pre-Heater add-on must be installed to pre-condition a number of
material types, including but not limited to, reinforced nylons and a sub set of nylon
polymers. The add-on ensures that Drywise operates reliably and gives optimum
results with these laments types. All the settings for the add-on are already pre-
saved on the Drywise dryer and no additional input is required from the user.
DO NOT insert a different type of material other than that specic lament instructed
on the dryer and corresponding to that specic prole. Failure to observe this, could
result in damage to the lament and/or the device.
If the lament that you want to use does not have a prole, kindly check online or
reach out for help before trying to test with any other prole. Damage caused to the
device in this way will not be covered by warranty.
Designed for 2.85mm lament only.
5.2. Material compatibility
The Drywise Pre-Heater add-on is compatible with all material types which are
approved for drying with the Drywise in-line lament dryer. If the add-on is not
required for a specic material type it will be automatically disabled by Drywise. With
specic materials which require the add-on, the Drywise dryer will not function unless
the Drywise Pre-Heater is correctly installed and functional.
The Drywise dryer will automatically set the correct settings based on the lament
chosen.
It is essential to install the Drywise Pre-Heater to be able to use Drywise with the
following materials:
• Carbon bre lled nylons
• Glass bre lled nylons
• Luvocom PAHT resin based laments
• Other specic materials as instructed by the Drywise UI.
The list of tested and approved materials is always growing. For an updated list kindly
check our website at drywise.co/materials.

Drywise Pre-Heater User Manual 11
5.1. The drying process (normal operation)
Operating the Drywise dryer device with the Drywise Pre-Heater add-on is no
different than when operating the device without the add-on installed.
1. Make sure the add-on is securely installed in place on the input port.
2. Select the preferred lament that you want to use.
3. Load the lament in the dryer, inserting the lament in the add-on entry point rst.
4. Proceed with the normal drying process and printing routine. Refer to the Drywise
inline lament dryer operation manual if in doubt.
If the Drywise Pre-Heater add-on is installed, the Drywise inline lament dryer can
be used with it irrespective of the lament. The Drywise dryer will set the correct
parameters for the specic lament selected. If a lament needs the Pre-Heater add-
on and this is not installed the Drywise dryer will not allow you to choose said material
for drying until the add-on is installed.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Recommendations
The Drywise Pre-Heater add-on does not need any specic or regular preventative
maintenance.
When opening the Pre-Heater add-on to replace the o-rings make sure it is reseated
correctly in place and that it is secured correctly with the thumbscrew.
7. Warning Message Screens
7.1. Pre-Heater not detected
This screen will pop-up when a
specic material that requires the
add on has been selected for drying
and the system senses that:
• The Pre-Heater add-on has not
been installed or
• The Pre-Heater is not installed
correctly, or
• The Pre-Heater is malfunctioning
If the add-on is installed correctly in
place, the thumbscrew holding it is
securely tightened but this warning
continues to be shown kindly
contact support.
