3. Sethaphu Imiyalelo
Follow these steps to set up your Sovol SH01 Filament Dryer:
- Ukubekwa: Place the filament dryer on a stable, flat surface.
- I-Filament Iyalayisha: Open the transparent lid. Place your filament spool(s) inside the dryer. The dryer can accommodate two filament rolls with a width of less than 70mm each, or one filament roll with a width of less than 150mm.
- Filament Outlet: Guide the filament through the designated filament outlet. Ensure the filament is placed counterclockwise for optimal feeding, especially when used as a spool holder during printing.
- Ukuxhuma kwamandla: Xhuma i-adaptha yamandla kumshini wokomisa bese uyixhuma endaweni efanele yokukhipha ugesi.

4. Iziqondiso Zokusebenza
The Sovol SH01 offers precise control over drying parameters:
- Vula: Cindezela inkinobho yamandla (U) ukuvula idivayisi. Isibonisi sizobonisa izinga lokushisa lamanje kanye nomswakama.
- Setha izinga lokushisa: Press the 'M' (Mode) button to enter temperature setting mode. Use the 'Up' (^) button to adjust the temperature between 40°C, 45°C, and 50°C. Refer to the table below for recommended temperatures based on filament type.
- Setha Isikhathi Sokomisa: Press the 'M' button again to enter drying time setting mode. Use the 'Up' (^) button to set the drying duration from 6 hours to 12 hours.
- Qala Ukomisa: Press the 'M' button one more time to confirm settings and enter working mode. The display will show 'WORK' indicating the drying process has begun.

Recommended Drying Temperatures:
| Uhlobo lweFilament | Ithempelesha enconyiwe |
|---|---|
| PLA/Wood | 40-50°C |
| PETG/TPU/PVE | 45-50°C |
| I-ABS/PC | 50°C |
Power-Off Drying Mode:
The SH01 features excellent sealing performance with silicone and PTFE seals, allowing for long-term filament storage without power. For enhanced drying efficiency and quality in this mode, it is recommended to place up to four bags of desiccants (not included in the package) inside the dryer box.

5. Isondlo
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Sovol SH01 Filament Dryer, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Ukuhlanza: Periodically wipe the exterior of the dryer with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ukushintshwa kwe-Desiccant: If using desiccants, monitor their condition and replace them as needed according to the desiccant manufacturer's instructions.
- Lid Ventilation: During active heating, it is important to open the PTFE seals on the top of the box to allow moisture to evaporate. For very high humidity, occasionally open the main lid for a few hours to vent.
6. Ukuxazulula izinkinga
Bheka izinkinga ezilandelayo ezivamile nezisombululo zazo:
- Automatic Shutdown/Not Working: The filament dryer will switch itself off within 3 minutes if 'WORK' is not displayed on the screen. After setting the temperature and drying time, ensure you press the 'M' button again to enter working mode.
- High Humidity Inside the Box: If humidity gets trapped, it is recommended to open the lid several times over a few hours to vent the humidity. Alternatively, you can place 2 small bags of desiccant inside the dryer.
- Umsindo wabalandeli: Fan noise may be caused by interference between the cable in the drying box and the fan blades. Open the drying box to fine-tune the position of the fan. Check if the fan blades are interfered with by circuit lines and comb if any. If the noise persists, contact customer support.
- E0 and E1 Errors: If the screen displays E0 and E1 errors, open the drying box and check all cable sockets on the motherboard for damage or looseness. If problems persist, contact customer support for replacement.
