Upgrade Your PrintDry Filament Dryer
The PrintDry Filament Dryer PRO4 Base Unit is an upgrade component designed for existing PrintDry PRO and PRO3 owners. It brings the latest PRO4 base-unit features to compatible existing PrintDry dryer setups.
The upgraded system introduces real-time humidity monitoring alongside six selectable drying temperatures and a timer of up to 48 hours, giving users greater control when preparing filament for 3D printing.
Real-Time Humidity Monitoring
The PRO4 base unit features an integrated humidity sensor that displays relative humidity from below 15% through to 99%. This allows users to monitor changes in the drying environment as the filament drying cycle progresses.
PrintDry's testing reports that chamber humidity can fall from above 60% to below 15% in under five minutes under its stated test conditions. Actual drying performance will vary according to filament type, moisture content and environmental conditions.
Six Drying Temperatures
The PRO4 provides six preset temperature settings: 35°C, 45°C, 55°C, 65°C, 75°C and 85°C. These settings cover the drying requirements of a wide range of common 3D printing materials.
PrintDry provides recommended drying temperatures and times for materials including PLA, ABS, PETG/CPE, Nylon, PVA, TPU/TPE, ASA, PP, HIPS, PC and PEEK.
Dry & Feed
The PrintDry system can feed 1.75mm or 3mm filament directly from the dryer to a compatible 3D printer while the filament continues to dry.
This is particularly useful for moisture-sensitive materials and longer printing jobs where maintaining filament in a controlled drying environment during printing can be beneficial.
Key Specifications
Closed-Loop Temperature Control
The PRO4 regulates temperature using a closed-loop system. When the measured temperature rises above the selected preset, the heating unit switches off. When the temperature falls below the preset, the heating unit switches back on.
PrintDry notes that temperature distribution within the dryer is not uniform. The temperature is higher near the hot air vent and lower further away from it, so the displayed temperature should not be treated as the temperature at every point inside the chamber.
Designed for Existing PRO & PRO3 Systems
This product is supplied as a base-unit upgrade rather than a complete filament dryer. Existing PRO and PRO3 owners can use the PRO4 base unit with the appropriate compatible components from their existing dryer setup.
Recommended Filament Drying
PrintDry's recommendations are based on stated test conditions including 50% ambient relative humidity, 20°C ambient temperature and a 500g filament spool. Actual drying times vary according to filament composition, initial moisture content and environmental conditions.
Applications
- Drying 3D printer filament before printing
- Drying moisture-sensitive filament
- Maintaining filament during long printing jobs
- Professional 3D printing
- Engineering and functional prototypes
- Educational and workshop 3D printing
- Upgrading existing PrintDry PRO and PRO3 systems
