1) Vacuum valve and pump:
A special valve and a pump are used to suck the air out to create a vacuum seal and this will prevent the moisture in the air from getting into the container.
2) Stronger structure:
In order to hold a strong vacuum seal, both the lid and the container itself have been specially designed.
3) Vacuum indicator:
when completely vacuum sealed, the center of the vacuum valve will collapse inward from its original dome shape.
The vacuum filament container has been tested with a 750g filament spool inside for 30 days. The graph below shows the changes of the relative humidity (grey line) inside the container and the ambient humidity (red line) as the storage time increases. Five pouches of 15g desiccant are included in the container.
Our new vacuum sealed containers are super easy to use.
1) Place your filament spool inside the container with some desiccant pouches, put on the lid and align the tabs of the lid and the container, engage the 4 strong clamps.
2) Take the hand plunger and line up the bottom of the hand plunger with the center vacuum valve on the container lid. Pressing down gently on the hand plunger, simply lift the plunger handle slowly until it reaches the top of the pump, and then push down on the plunger until it reaches the bottom of the pump. Repeat this up and down motion for 15-20 time for the polycarbonate containers or 10-15 for the polypropylene containers.
3) To release the vacuum seal, place your index finger on the outside rim of the valve, and press it towards the center.

These suck. They’re cheaply made and deform under vacuum. They do the job, but I doubt they will last very long. They need to make the container out of a more rigid material.

Hi Paul, Thank you for the comments. We are switching to PC material for the next production. So far, we are using PP. Again, thank you so much.

These containers are great for storing your filament. When the valve is collapsed, it is easy to confirm that the container is still under vacuum. I usually place a 10-gram bag of desiccant and a 5% 10% 15% humidity card inside the container with the filament. I have several containers that have been stored for over 3 months, the valves are still collapsed and the humidity cards indicate below 5% humidity. Also, the way the containers stack makes storing very convenient, and you can easily see the contents without having to open the container.

I love these. I was a KickStarter and went all in with this product. I got the vacuum cases, a dryer – the whole setup, and I could not be happier.
It does exactly what it needs to do for me. In fact, I’m back to buy more. You see, I have a PLA addition. ; p
The **only** thing I can give as a constructive feedback, is that the the vacuum decreases slowly over time. But, in a very slow leak rate. Every few months you should check to make sure the seal is still intact. This more that fair, and not a criticism… just is what it is. Every so often you wipe down the seal (alcohol pad) and it you renew the seal to near perfect.
Anyway, love em.
Thanks for inventing them.
You rock.
ps: Support is awesome too.
