To install the hygrometer battery
Slide down the hygrometer battery cover.
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.
To install the rods
Slide two bearings onto both ends of the steal rod, then snap the rod and bearings into the PolyBoxTM
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.
To install the filament guide
Cut the lament 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.
Caution:
Be careful, at the end of the spool, the filament might get stuck in the PolyBoxTM and the 3d
printer can drag the PolyBoxTM.
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 lament in the hole from the inside and push it until it exits from the other side of the lament 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 t. Make sure the cover ts 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 lament 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.
