2. Equipment Operation Introduction
Connect the power supply, turn on the power switch, and start the machine;
If the filament has absorbed moisture, it is necessary to enable the drying function to dry
the filament;
If the filament has not absorbed moisture, only the storage function needs to be enabled
to store the filament.
The default storage range of the equipment is less than 15%; After starting up the
equipment, the storage function is enabled by default;
The interface will display the current temperature and humidity of the filament chamber.
The humidity value will change as the storage function is turned on until the humidity
reaches the set humidity storage range.
It adopts the renewable desiccant, which can be recycled, for storage; When the auto
cycle function is enabled and the equipment detects that the desiccant is moisture-satu-
rated, the humidity of the chamber will become higher, and at this time, the desiccant
dehumidification function will be enabled automatically, so that the desiccant can be
dried again. At this time, it is normal that the humidity display value may fluctuate.
There will be corresponding prompts in the interface.
2.1 Storage Function
Note Please be sure to keep the door closed during storage.
Click on the drying function bar and select the filament to be dried. The default drying
time and temperature has been set already when leaving the factory.
The interface will display the target drying temperature and actual temperature, total
drying time and remaining time and chamber humidity value.
2.2 Drying Function
Note
Users can also customize the material and set the required drying time and temperature
for it.
·
·
·
·
Please be sure to keep the door closed during drying;
If the hot melt characteristics of the materials differ greatly, they can not be dried at the same
time. For example, PLA material, of which the softening temperature is 53℃, is not suitable for
drying together with high-temperature resistant materials such as PC and PA.
The filament spool material is usually ABS/PC-ABS/PC material. If the temperature is too high,
the filament spool may be deformed. For filaments shipped after May 2022, Flashforge will
adopt PC-ABS material for the spool.
Note that if the temperature displayed by the filament drying station exceeds 50℃ when taking
the filament out, please wear heat insulating gloves to avoid scalding.

2.3 Annealing Treatment
It is recommended that the engineering filaments should be annealed after finishing
printing to eliminate the internal stress of the model, improve the properties of the model
and slow down the second-time moisture absorption of the model. Place the filament in
the filament drying station, enable the drying function and set the corresponding
temperature and time, thus the annealing treatment is carried out.
Annealing treatment is recommended for the following materials:
PA, PAHT and PA12-CF should be annealed to improve the mechanical properties of the
model samples.
Annealing conditions:
PA：Place the sample in the Filament Drying Station at 70℃ and dry it for 2 hours.
PAHT：Place the sample in the Filament Drying Station at 70℃ and dry it for 2 hours.
PA12-CF：Place the sample in the Filament Drying Station at 80℃ and dry it for 6 hours.

2.4 Filament Drying Station Setting
Auto Storage Mode
Storage Humidity Range
The settings include the storage humidity range, which can be used to set the humidity
range for material storage.
It is turned on by default. When it is turned off, the desiccant dehumidification function
will not be started even when the desiccant in the chamber has become moisture-satu-
rated. Therefore, the storage function will fail as the desiccant becomes invalid.

Brightness Adjustment
Adjust the screen brightness: the larger the number, the brighter the brightness.
Language
The equipment supports seven languages: Chinese, English, Japanese, German, French,
Spanish and Korean.

Door Open Detection
If the door open detection function is turned on: when the equipment door is opened, the
drying function and storage function will not be enabled in order to prevent shortening
the service life of desiccant.
If the door open detection function is turned off: even if the equipment door is opened,
the drying function and storage function can still be enabled. However, this will increase
energy consumption.
Note
Please restart after switching
languages.
3. Replace the Desiccant
·
·
·
·
·
·
Turn off the power supply. Please note that the filament drying station should be in the
cooling state to avoid accidental injury caused by high temperature;
Open the back plate (unscrew the four screws);
Loosen the sheet metal screws of the regeneration box with an Allen wrench, and
remove the sheet metal, the sheet metal sealing ring and the heat insulation foam;
Loosen the four screws shown in the figure with an Allen wrench;
Turn over the aluminum substrate assembly in the direction of the arrow, and take out
the desiccant bag inside. Put in a new desiccant bag；
Re-lock each screw back in place.
When the equipment gives a prompt to suggest replacing the desiccant, it means that the
service life of the desiccant has arrived, and the desiccant needs to be replaced manually
by the user.
The operation method is as follows:

4. Q&A
Q：
A：
Q：
A：
Q：
A：
Is the drying time of each material adjustable?
The drying time and temperature of related materials have been set in the equip-
ment. However, the user can also adjust them according to the actual situation.
How often do you need to change the desiccant?
Generally, it can be recycled for 1-year use. If the desiccant is invalid, the equipment
will prompt the user.
Do filaments have to be dried before printing?
Standard filaments (materials with water absorption less than 0.3) do not necessarily
need to be dried, but carbon fiber and glass fiber composite filaments are recom-
mended to be dried before printing.
Q：
A：
Can different materials be put together for drying?
Not necessarily.
If the material characteristics are similar, such as PA12-CF and PA6-CF, they can be
dried at the same temperature for 8 to 12 hours. If the temperature resistance
characteristics of materials are far different, they can not be dried together. For
example, materials such as PLA and PC; The heat deflection temperature of PLA is
only about 55℃, therefore, too high a temperature will make PLA material deform.
Q：
A：
Can different materials be put for drying or storage?
As long as the humidity setting is kept low for storage, different materials can be put
for storage.
During drying, because of the different heat deflection temperatures of materials,
materials with different characteristics can not be put into the filament drying station
for drying together.
Q：
A：
Can the drying function and the storage function be used together?
No. Because it is in the same chamber, and the chamber will be heated to the set
temperature during drying.
13
Q：
A：
Q：
A：
Q：
A：
Is it very power-consuming to keep the filament drying station on for a long time?
The power consumption will be high only in the drying mode, while there is almost
no power consumption in the storage mode.
What happens when the desiccant is in the regenerative cycle mode?
At this time, the equipment is dehumidifying the desiccant to achieve the purpose of
reuse. At this time, the humidity data may rise.
Is there a door sensor function?
There is a door sensor function. If the door open detection function is turned on, the
drying and automatic storage (drying) functions will be enabled only when the door
is closed tightly. It is also feasible to turn off the door detection function and then
there will be no further detection of whether the door is closed or not.
Q：
A：
How does the door detection sensor affect the functions of the equipment?
If the door detection is not triggered (the door is not closed properly), the equipment
will not give any prompt, and will not carry out the storage mode or the drying mode.
It is necessary to ensure whether the door is closed properly.
When the door detection function is turned off in the settings, the drying and storage
functions will be enabled whether the door is closed properly or not.
Q：
A：
How long is the estimated time for the indoor humidity to drop from 50% to 10%?
It will take about half an hour to reduce the indoor humidity from 50% to 10%.
Q：
A：
What is the power consumption of the filament drying station drying for 12 hours?
When at room temperature, the target drying temperature is set at 120℃, the power
consumption is about 1.4KWh.
