simple and functional oval filament outlet which is covered by a piece of foil.

filament is in a dry environment thanks to silica gel.

We created an alternative part that works as a cover / drybox for the fifth filament. The modular filament holder is a part of the construction of the MMU2S Printer Enclosure V2. That is why the drybox is adapted to the location on the right. When printing soluble material with the MMU2S, the soluble filament should be in the fifth filament slot (as default).

On the picture below, you can see the different surfaces above supports. The print surface is therefore much nicer. On the other hand, soluble supports can be printed without spacing and dissolved in water. Therefore, the surface under the supports is not perfectly smooth. There must be a small gap (typically 0.1 mm) between supports and the print. In some cases, the supports may be difficult to access and may even be impossible to remove. This results in visible marks left on the print.

Once it’s done, it is necessary to remove the supports manually – using force. The usual approach is to print supports with the same filament used for printing of the model itself. A practical example: printing water-soluble supports. A 3D printer with our Multi-Material Upgrade not only allows you to print from filaments of different colors but also gives you the opportunity to print with different kinds of materials. What is a drybox?Ī drybox keeps the filament dry during printing and also protects the filament from dust. We present several solutions for this case. However, if you want to print from special materials, which are hygroscopic, you need to keep the filament dry also during printing – that’s what silica gel is for. This solution is trouble-free, practical, functional and mobile. Nearly all Original Prusa i3 3D printers have a spool of filament placed in the original holder on the frame.
