Dry Box Spool Holder by Elfinn3

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I made a drybox for my filament. Texas is humid, so this helps a lot. The thing I have posted is just the spool holder. I needed one that would fit in the Sterilite boxes I bought. All materials are listed and linked below. I then cadded a space for a humidity gauge. The holder fits the contours of the box itself and is held in place by gravity and the pressure from the pvc pipe that holds the filament. I can fit 4 rolls in one box and it keeps the humidity around 17-18% (even when the room is at 60-65%!). I ran Bowden tubes out of mine. It doesn't affect the humidity (I thought it might, but I tested it and it doesn't). You can skip that part if you just want a place to store your PLA.
If you don't need to know the humidity, you can just print two "Spool Holder"s (without the hole). If you want to add a humidity gauge, print one "Spool Holder" and one "Spool Holeder" for each drybox.
