INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the PolyBoxTM from Polymaker! With PolyBoxTM you’ll
experience no more 3D printing problems caused by laments 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 lament from absorbing moisture during
the storage and even during the 3d printing process. It is specically designed
for Nylon, PVA, PolySmoothTM and other highly hygroscopic 3D printing materials.
However, its good practise to keep all 3D printing laments inside the PolyBoxTM to
preserve the optimum printing quality.
PolyBoxTM is compatible with both 1.75mm and 2.85mm laments and can contain
up to two 1kg spools or one 3kg spool!

Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
PolyBoxTM comes with silica gel desiccant sachets, FDA certied, 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, ush 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.

SETTING UP YOUR POLYBOXTM
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 the 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 bags
can be dried in a microwave for 4 times 5min
(defrost mode), make sure to ip the bags
upside down between each iteration. Use
oven mitts to touch the desiccant bags.
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 PolyBox™,
one in each compartment.
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 in the PolyBoxTM and feed the
lament through the rubber plug.
Note: Make sure the material is fully dried
before putting it in the PolyBoxTM.
Place the cover on the PolyBoxTM.
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 desiccant.
Gently pull the lament out to check if the
spool rolls smoothly.
After 2 hours you should 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.

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。

17
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。

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。
