Thought3D Thought3D Drywise v1.5 Inline Filament Dryer + Autoloader Bundle - 1.75mm
Stop "cooking" your filament and start printing. The Drywise v1.5 is the world's only truly active, in-line filament drying solution. now bundled with a motorized Autoloaded to create a seamless, tension-free material delivery system.
Traditional batch-drying methods requires hours of pre-planning and can degrade material through repeated thermal cycling. Drywise changes the rules: it dries only the section of the filament being printed in real-time, allowing you to go from a wet spool to a perfect print in minutes.
Drywise v1.5 In-line Filament Dryer
Bring Industrial Moisture Control to Your FDM Workflow
The Drywise v1.5 Inline Filament Dryer with Autoloader dries filament in-line as you print, ensuring optimal moisture control and consistent feed tension—even with 3 kg reels. Combined with the Pre-Heater, this bundle guarantees perfectly dry, pre-heated filament for stronger, cleaner prints and fewer reprints. Smart sensors, a rechargeable desiccant system, and compatibility with 1.75mm and 2.85mm filaments make it the ultimate 3D printing solution.
Key Features of the Thought3D Drywise v1.5 Inline Filament Dryer:
- Fast: In-line design dries filament as you print, virtually removing any downtime.
- Intelligent: Smart sensors monitor moisture levels and automatically adjust drying parameters.
- User Friendly: A 4.3" touchscreen UI guides you through the process with pre-loaded profiles.
- Versatile: Compatible with an ever-growing list of certified materials including Nylon, TPU, PLA, ABS/ASA, PETG, PC, PEI, PEEK, and ULTEM.
- Safe: Integrated sensors to detect idle moments and automatically switch off heaters to prevent filament damage of safety hazards.
Proven in Mission-Critical Sectors
Drywise is the trusted quality assurance tool for professionals who cannot afford print failure:
- Aerospace & Automotive: Achieve void-free, high strength parts with engineering polymers.
- Defense and Mission Critical Deployments: Always ready, ever highest mechanical performance.

More Materials. More Possibilities
Drywise makes it easy to print with demanding technical plastics as it eliminates the guesswork from the drying process. With an ever-growing list of certified materials, just select the right material from the list and get printing, leaving the smart drying technology to take care of all the parameters.
- The presence of moisture in filament can potentially cause print failure and affect the mechanical properties of the printed part.
- Drywise ensures consistently dried filament and eliminates multiple drying cycles and material degradation.

Why Is Filament Drying Important?
Hygroscopic FDM filaments tend to absorb significant amounts of moisture from the environment to where it can affect the quality of your prints. The presence of moisture in the filament can cause lower quality surface finish, stringing, and oozing, as well as less visible effects like the mechanical properties of your finished part. As a result, moisture-sensitive materials will need drying before printing.
- Telltale signs that you are printing with wet filament include hissing and popping sounds, as well as inconsistent material extrusion and nozzle blockages.
- Commonly affected material types include PET, PEEK, ULTEM, PEI, PC, and Nylon/PA based materials.
Experience Active Drying in Real Time
Drywise will make sure the material is consistently dry, no matter the length of the print job, by processing the right amount of material at just the right time. This also preserves material integrity by eliminating thermal cycling.
- With Drywise, long prints have never been more consistent. While oven-dried filament will reabsorb filament quickly from the environment, tests have demonstrated that parts dried will retain performance throughout the duration of long print jobs.
Key Benefits: Why Drywise Autoloader Bundle?
1. Zero-Tensioning Feeding
The motorized Autoloader acts as a push-pull assist, removing all drag and filament tension from the printer's extruder. This ensures consistent flow and cleaner surface finishes, particularly on long-format prints where traditional spool drag can lead to under-extrusion.
2. Industrial Scale: No Spool size limitations
Designed for heavy-duty production, the Autoloader effortlessly handles large-format reels. The inline technology mean the spool does not sit inside the machine. Theis combines with the motorized feeing system makes drying any spool size possible.
3. No Pre-Heater Required
The v1.5 Autoloader optimizes the filament path so effectively that the previous Pre-heater add-on is no longer necessary. Even the stiffest, most abrasive materials, like Carbon Fiber (CF) and Glass Fiber (GF) filled filaments, now feed smoothly and dry perfectly without additional hardware.
4. Protect Your Material
By processing only what is needed, Drywise eliminates the risk of "thermal aging" caused by baking entire spools for 24+ hours. Your filament stays at its peak mechanical properties until the moment it enters the nozzle.

FAQ
Do I still need to pre-dry spools?
No! Drywise filament dryer conditions filament in-line during the print, helping keep moisture under control in real time. Since it dries the most important section (the material about to be extruded), it's not mandatory to pre-dry the entire spool.
What's the warranty period?
Thought3D automatically includes 1 year of warranty coverage for their Drywise In-Line Filament Dryers sold in the U.S.
Will Drywise work with my 3D printer?
Yes. Drywise works with most FDM / FFF systems. It works best with UltiMaker, Raise3D, Anisoprint/Fiberforce, Markforged, Prusa, and Bambu Lab 3D printers.
Which materials benefit most from filament drying?
3D printer filament such as PA/Nylon, PA-CF, Onyx, PETG, TPU, and PC blends benefit greatly from filament drying due to their high hygroscopic nature.
