3D Printing Filament Dryer Innovation

This document describes a direct filament dryer that was created to address issues with moisture and dust affecting 3D printer plastic filaments. The dryer uses silica gel to absorb moisture and a sponge to clean dust from filaments inside a heated chamber maintained between 40-50 degrees Celsius. Testing showed filaments dried with this method produced smoother 3D prints compared to damp or dusty filaments. The dryer aims to provide a more efficient alternative to storing filaments in dry boxes.

ABSTRACT

Industrial Revolution 4.0 requires every line of life to apply technology, especially in the field
of prototyping. 3D PrintingFDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology is used for the
needs of rapid prototyping. The plastic filament material is the main requirement in printing
FDM or FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication). However, there are poor print quality problems in
this storage process because all types of plastic filaments used in this 3D printing technology
are affected by moisture and dust. The moisture of the plastic filament can be seen if there is
a hiss in the printing process and the surface of the printing result becomes rough. At the
same time, the dust on the filament will clog the hot end nozzle. Current 3D printing
technology is used to reduce this problem by storing filaments in the filament box dryer.
However, this storage has several drawbacks. It is less efficient and practical because the
filament box can only hold one of the plastic filament rolls. From this problem, we tried to
create "Direct Filament Dryer with Moisture and Dust Absorbent for 3D Printing Plastic
Filaments". The principle of this tool is to put the filament into the heating chamber. This
room contains silica gel as a damper for moisture and a sponge to clean the dust on the
filament's surface. The heating room temperature is controlled by a thermostat, which will
keep the temperature between 40-50 °C. This research uses R&D techniques with the 4D
method, namely, Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. Meanwhile, to test the results of
this research by comparing the printing results between plastic filaments that are allowed to
become damp and dusty with technology. Therefore, it was concluded that using made the
filament surface smooth without any rough parts.
