EIBOS Tetras Series X: 4-Chamber Smart Filament Dryer
The EIBOS Tetras represents a fundamental shift in how production environments manage filament moisture. Four individually sealed chambers accommodate eight standard spools with independent temperature control up to 65°C, whilst the proven Proteus active-regenerative heating core delivers consistent drying performance that passive systems simply cannot match.
Designed specifically for Bambu Lab AMS Gen 1 integration, the Tetras eliminates the workflow disruptions and material waste that plague multi-material print operations. Engineering materials like Nylon, PA-CF, and polycarbonate remain continuously dry from storage through to the print head—no moisture reabsorption, no sequential drying delays, no production failures from hygroscopic material degradation.
This isn't an oversized hobbyist dryer scaled up for workshops. The Tetras is purpose-engineered for production environments, educational facilities, and engineering operations where filament moisture control directly impacts output quality, material costs, and operational reliability.
For Australian print farms running continuous Bambu Lab operations, coastal workshops battling humidity, and technical institutions teaching advanced manufacturing, the Tetras provides the capacity and redundancy that single and dual-chamber systems fundamentally lack.
Four Independent Sealed Chambers: Redundancy Meets Flexibility
The Tetras's four-chamber architecture delivers operational advantages that two-chamber solutions like the Dyas or single-chamber Cyclops cannot provide. Each chamber features auto-sealing lids, independent temperature control, and isolated environmental management. When you open chamber one to swap completed spools, chambers two through four remain sealed and actively controlled at their designated temperatures.
This isolation matters critically in production environments. Your fresh Nylon spool drying at 65°C in chamber three isn't affected when you access PETG in chamber one. Your overnight drying cycle in chamber four continues uninterrupted whilst you load morning production materials in chamber two. With dual-chamber systems, every access event affects all materials. The Tetras provides true operational independence.
The eight-spool total capacity (two spools per chamber) eliminates material bottlenecks in multi-project workflows. Load a full four-spool AMS set with backups ready in remaining chambers. Maintain four different engineering materials at four different optimal temperatures simultaneously. Run primary and backup materials for critical production runs. The capacity supports the material variety and redundancy that serious manufacturing demands.
Chamber redundancy also provides workflow continuity. If one chamber requires maintenance or experiences any operational issue, three chambers remain fully functional. In dual-chamber systems, a single chamber failure reduces capacity by 50%. The Tetras maintains 75% capacity through any single-chamber disruption—critical for workshops with committed delivery schedules.
Proteus Active-Regenerative Heating: Proven Performance at Scale
The Proteus heating core distinguishes the Tetras from conventional multi-chamber dryers that simply circulate warm air. This active-regenerative system simultaneously maintains precise chamber temperatures whilst continuously regenerating internal desiccant, delivering consistent moisture removal performance across days of continuous operation.
Traditional passive dryers heat filament and hope moisture evaporates. The Proteus system actively captures and removes moisture through regenerative desiccant cycling. Fresh Nylon achieves print-ready moisture levels in 4-6 hours, not the 12-16 hours passive systems require. PETG dries in 2-3 hours. Engineering materials reach optimal condition fast enough to start morning conditioning and print that afternoon.
The 65°C maximum temperature provides sufficient thermal energy for proper engineering material drying without risking spool deformation or polymer degradation. Nylon and PA composites dry effectively at 60-65°C. Polycarbonate requires 60-65°C. PETG needs 50-55°C. ABS conditions at 50-55°C. The thermal range covers all common materials with appropriate headroom for varying ambient conditions in Australian workshops.
Energy efficiency distinguishes the Proteus approach from multi-element heating systems. The regenerative cycling reduces continuous power consumption—you're not running four independent heating elements at maximum output constantly. For facilities managing operational costs and power consumption across multiple printer installations, the Proteus efficiency delivers measurable savings.
Seamless Bambu Lab AMS Gen 1 Integration
The Tetras was engineered specifically for Bambu Lab AMS Gen 1 workflows, providing no-drilling installation that mounts securely to printer frames without permanent modifications. PTFE tubes route cleanly from each Tetras chamber directly to your AMS, maintaining controlled dry environments right through to print operations.
This integration transforms the AMS into a true multi-material production system for engineering materials. The AMS Gen 1 excels at automatic material switching but provides no active moisture control. Hygroscopic materials like Nylon, PC, and PA-CF absorb atmospheric moisture within hours of exposure. Combined with the Tetras, your AMS delivers continuous dry feeding for materials that would normally fail from moisture exposure during extended print jobs.
The practical workflow advantage: load four different engineering materials across Tetras chambers, route tubes to your AMS, start multi-material prints, and trust that each material maintains optimal moisture content throughout hours-long or overnight operations. Moisture never reabsorbs during printing. Material properties remain consistent. Print quality stays predictable.
For print farms running multiple Bambu Lab printers, the Tetras provides the scalable moisture management infrastructure that standalone dryers cannot deliver efficiently. One Tetras unit supports one AMS-equipped printer with full eight-spool capacity, or functions as a centralised drying station feeding multiple printers in sequential workflows.
CRITICAL COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION: The Tetras is designed exclusively for Bambu Lab AMS Gen 1 systems used with X1C, P1S, and P1P printers. It is NOT compatible with AMS 2, AMS 2 Pro, or AMS 2 Plus systems. Verify your AMS generation before purchasing. For non-Bambu printers, the Tetras functions as a high-capacity standalone dryer without AMS integration features.

Purpose-Built for Enterprise Applications
Engineering & Product Development Firms
Design operations validating mechanical properties with functional prototypes require moisture-free engineering materials. When testing PA-CF structural components or Nylon flexible assemblies, moisture-compromised materials invalidate results. The Tetras maintains your complete engineering material library—multiple nylon grades, carbon-fibre composites, polycarbonate, speciality TPUs—all at optimal conditions simultaneously. Print validation parts in the morning from chamber one, switch to production materials from chamber two in the afternoon, prepare tomorrow's speciality materials in chambers three and four overnight.
Small-Batch Manufacturing & Production Runs
Manufacturers printing end-use parts cannot tolerate moisture-related failures in committed production schedules. The Tetras delivers production-grade moisture control at prosumer investment levels. Load production materials Monday morning, maintain optimal conditions continuously through Friday, and eliminate moisture variables from your process. When delivering 200 parts across the week, every print must succeed. The Tetras ensures material quality isn't the failure point. The eight-spool capacity supports batch runs with primary materials loaded plus backup spools ready for immediate changeover.
Technical Education & Advanced Manufacturing Training
TAFEs and universities teaching Industry 4.0 manufacturing need students working with genuine engineering materials, not simplified PLA demonstrations. The Tetras enables educational facilities to maintain multiple material types safely whilst teaching proper industrial moisture management protocols. Four independent chambers mean different student groups work with different materials simultaneously without workflow conflicts. Students learn material handling procedures—including drying protocols and moisture monitoring—that directly transfer to manufacturing environments.
Dental & Medical Device Prototyping Laboratories
Medical prototyping operations working with biocompatible and specialised materials require precise environmental control. The Tetras maintains optimal conditions for medical-grade filaments used in anatomical models, surgical planning guides, and device prototypes. Independent chamber control supports multiple material grades at different conditions—flexible TPU for tissue-mimicking models in chamber one, rigid polycarbonate for device housings in chamber two, speciality composites for specific mechanical properties in remaining chambers. The capacity and control support the material variety medical applications demand.
Research Institutions & Material Science Applications
Universities and private laboratories developing new material formulations or characterising filament properties need repeatable environmental control. The Tetras provides consistent moisture conditions essential for valid experimental data. Document precise drying protocols, maintain verified chamber temperatures, and ensure material characterisation reflects actual polymer properties, not moisture-contaminated variables. For research requiring control samples at different moisture levels, independent chambers maintain distinct conditions simultaneously.

Why Choose the Tetras Over Two-Chamber Alternatives
The Dyas and Cyclops serve specific use cases admirably. The Dyas provides excellent dual-chamber performance for users needing two-material workflows. The Cyclops delivers solid single-chamber drying for focused applications. The Tetras exists for operations where two chambers aren't sufficient and workflow redundancy matters.
- Capacity: Eight spools versus four (Dyas) or two (Cyclops). The difference isn't just quantity—it's operational flexibility and material variety.
- Redundancy: Four independent chambers provide workflow continuity through maintenance or chamber issues. Dual-chamber systems lose 50% capacity with any single failure.
- Material Flexibility: Four distinct temperature zones support four different materials at four different optimal conditions simultaneously. Dual-chamber systems accommodate two materials. Single-chamber systems force temperature compromises.
- Production Continuity: Access one chamber without affecting three others. In dual-chamber systems, every access event risks environmental conditions for both chambers.
- Enterprise Scale: The Tetras matches the capacity requirements of production workflows, multi-project operations, and institutional applications. Smaller systems serve personal workshops well but become operational bottlenecks at institutional scale.
