Proper 3D filament storage requires keeping spools sealed and dry. When exposed to humid air, filaments can absorb moisture and cause issues such as stringing, bubbling, and whitening in a print.
Materials such as nylon, PVA, and TPU are particularly susceptible because they absorb moisture from the air more readily than other filaments.
That’s why we at SUNLU have joined forces with Inslogic to introduce the FilaDC i10, a convenient and reliable filament storage solution.
This filament dehumidifier adopts innovative dehumidifying technology while offering generous storage space, a tightly sealed design, low energy consumption, convenient and quiet operation, and multiple safety protections.
Molecular Sieve Dehumidification
The FilaDC i10 is based on physical moisture adsorption and smart cycling. During operation, the molecular sieve first adsorbs moisture from the air inside the cabinet. PTC heating then releases the collected moisture and cools down to restore the molecular sieve adsorption capacity. This cycle repeats automatically to provide continuous humidity control, helping maintain a stable storage environment with relative humidity levels between 10% and 45%.
By controlling moisture rather than relying on prolonged high-temperature storage, the FilaDC i10 helps reduce moisture-related degradation and keeps filament in a more stable condition during storage.
Moreover, the cabinet can be used to protect other moisture-sensitive items, such as camera lenses, powders, electronic components, and tools. This makes it a versatile storage solution.
Large Storage Capacity
With an internal space measuring 385 mm long, 258 mm wide, and 488 mm high, the i10 can store up to ten 1 kg filament spools at the same time. It also supports filament spool sizes ranging from 0.25 kg to 5 kg, giving users more flexibility when storing different materials and spool formats.
For studios, print farms, and users with growing filament collections, multiple cabinets can be stacked to expand storage capacity while keeping the setup neat and saving valuable floor space. For the best balance of accessibility and everyday usability, stacking up to three cabinets is recommended.
Strong and Long-Lasting Moisture Protection
Good moisture protection starts with a tight seal. The FilaDC i10 Filament Dehumidifying Cabinet features a tight sealing gasket to prevent moisture and three strong magnets that can hold the door firmly closed. This design helps maintain a consistently dry storage environment, keeping filaments in better condition and ready for reliable printing.
Low Energy Operation
You may be concerned that, since the FilaDC i10 cabinet needs to stay powered continuously, it might lead to high electricity costs. The truth is, the FilaDC i10 consumes only around 0.23 kWh over 24 hours. This low energy consumption makes it suitable for continuous usage. You can keep it running without worrying that a spike appears in your electricity bill.The figure was tested at 25°C and 60% relative humidity in an empty chamber and actual results may vary depending on your environment.
Quiet Operation
The FilaDC i10 also operates at less than 30 dB. Its sound level is comparable to rustling leaves, allowing it to run quietly in homes, offices, workshops, and print rooms.
Easy to Use and Ready Out of the Box
Weighing only 5.8 kg and featuring a recessed handle, the FilaDC i10 is easy to position or move when needed. Its integrated design requires no complicated installation, so it is ready to use straight out of the box.
Filament can remain inside the cabinet until you are ready to print. Test data shows that PETG filament with an initial moisture content of 0.34% dropped to 0.21% after being stored in the FilaDC i10 for 96 hours.
By comparison, PETG with an initial moisture content of 0.35% increased to 0.39% after being left exposed for the same period. As you can see below, properly stored filament produces cleaner and more consistent results. The print on the left was made with PETG at 0.21% moisture content, while the one on the right used PETG at 0.39% moisture content.
Multiple Safety Protections
The FilaDC i10 includes both hardware and software protection for safer long-term operation. At the hardware level, the PTC heating unit is equipped with a secondary temperature protection switch. At the software level, an intelligent temperature-control system continuously monitors operating conditions. If an excessive temperature is detected, the system provides a real-time warning, adding another layer of protection for the cabinet, filament, and surrounding workspace.
