                  This guide describes how to install the Prusa USS Drybox on the Prusa XL printer.

                  The XL uses a multi-toolhead system, and each toolhead requires a different PTFE length and mounting position for the Drybox.

                  This guide covers Drybox mounting, toolhead-specific PTFE routing, and connection to the filament path.

                  Before starting, make sure the Drybox is fully assembled and loaded with filament. If not, follow the First setup and filament loading (USS Drybox) article.

                  PTFE tube preparation

                  For Prusa XL, the PTFE tube length depends on the selected toolhead:

                  • Toolhead 1: 23 cm
                  • Toolhead 2: 35 cm
                  • Toolhead 3: 28 cm
                  • Toolhead 4: 23 cm
                  • Toolhead 5: 35 cm

                  Ensure a clean, straight cut to avoid filament friction or misalignment.

                  You will need:

                  • M4 Allen key
                  • Pliers
                  • 2x M4x6 screws for each drybox

                   

                  1. Prepare the number of pucks you will need (1, 2, or 5) by placing two M4x6 screws on their flat part.
                  1. Unscrew the spoolholders with an M4 Allen key.
                  1. Remove the PTFE tube from the side filament sensor.

                  1. Place the puck in a way that the previously placed screws are inside the extrusion groove. Screw a puck to each place where a spoolholder was using the M4x12 screw that was previously holding the XL spoolholder. 

                  1. Place the drybox on the puck. We recommend using the positions below for the five positions. Lock it with the removable spoolholder.
                  1. Load the filament through the side filament sensor, and insert the drybox PTFE tube in the side sensor case.

                  I ran into problems with the side filament sensor causing too much drag, even with everything mounted as shown here. I bypassed the side filament sensor by taking the rear filament guide tube out of the back of the side sensor block and running that PTFE tube straight into the drybox grommet, with the grommet toward the rear facing up. So far so good. I was getting failures to extrude and stuck filament warnings before.

                  Early versions of the XL including mine use M5 screws to mount the 3D printed spool holders, not M4. The center hole in the puck can be drilled out to fit an M5 screw but a button cap must be used because a socket cap screw is too tall.

                  Where can we find the "puck" and how is the dry-box installed on it?
                  Not clear at all!

                  Hello. The puck is already installed on our CORE One+ and CORE One L printers. If you are using different printer, you can find STL on the Printables page https://www.printables.com/model/1605113-prusa-uss-drybox-printable-accessories/files under folder "Universal spoolholder".
