Filament Drybox Assembly

Tools Required

  • 10mm box wrench

Unpacking

Unpack all items and remove items from zipper bags. Bearings may have been packed to prevent oil/grease from leaking.

Note: You may notice that the bearings are stiff/slow. These are factory-new bearings and may require several rotations to break in and spread the lubricant. This can be done by hand once the rollers are installed. Roll gently by hand until a smooth rotation is achieved.

Carriage Assembly

  1. Install 2x 608ZZ bearing into left side of carriage, careful to not break retaining tabs.
  2. Install rollers into bearings installed in step 1
  3. Install 2x 608ZZ bearing into right side of carriage, fitting rollers into center.

Note, your package may contain the the redesigned base plate with extended rails to prevent spool derailment.

Box Assembly

  1. Install filament guide into box by hand, using 10mm wrench to tighten snugly. Do not over-tighten.
  2. Insert filament tube into guide, extend into box approximately 10 mm.
  3. Insert carriage and desiccant into box.

Filament Install

  • For top mount, lower filament spool onto rollers ensuring winding direction allows for insertion into filament tube.
  • Feed filament through tube until approximately 1 inch is extending past end. This will allow for inserting into extruder easily.
  • For bottom mount, insert filament into guide tube before lowering filament spool into box.

Note: Be sure to remove any burrs from the rim of the filament spool
