changed the shape a bit so it can be grabbed easier. 

added a leash to keep it from running away.

Made the cap tighter both on filament side for better hold and tube side for better air tightness. it's a good fit for the PTFE tube i got (cheap Aliexpress stuff).  very tight initially but perfect after working it a bit. even better air tightness when pushed against the keeper. 

 

i want to keep as much air out of filament dry box as possible.
