I take no credit for this.  This was designed by Iron Shaarad and posted to makerworld.  I just wanted to make it easier for the community to find by posting it here as well.    

The following Description was written by the creator (Iron Shaarad https://makerworld.com/en/@Vincent_Laar) on makerword.

I have redesigned the parts to fit the PolyDryer, as well as an adapter block such that does not require any additional holes to be made in the cereal box lid.

 

The assembly is nicely shown on the sourced Youtube Video, and some parts are unchanged in this design (axles, roller, filament guide and bowden coupler connector, filament plug and lid-hole plug) from printables. Make sure to give the original designers a like as well!

I have made the base into one single piece (because we can on bambu printers) and a better fit to the lid. I have also strengthened it because I noticed it was prone to delamination over repeated opening/closing of the cereal box lid.

 

I have also included a blank label so feel free to add text in the slicer itself to suit your needs. If you have trouble let me know and I can prepare a stl for you.

 

When installing the magnets, make sure to support the structure with your fingers to avoid bending. It's a tight fit and no glue is required. If you can't get it in properly I have managed to solve it by either warming up the plastic a bit, or by using a 5mm drill head to smooth out the edges of the hole. When using the drill bit glue may be required to keep the magnets in place.

 

For the desiccant, I like to have in the spool hole so it always stays and gets dried with the filament. You can get that one from makerworld and give credit to the designer as well.

Notes:
- It is a good idea to have the connection to the adapter hole to the back of the PolyDryer, since it is favourable for the air circulation to have a short heat duct blowing upwards and a longer exhaust duct in the base. To this end I have placed the magnetic label at the front, to stimulate correct placement of the adapter block.
- It is advised to print the axles with 100% infill as I have pre-set for you in the print profile.
- It is advised to print the rollers in TPU for better grip on the spool, but it also works in PETG.
- Generally use at least PETG for all these parts as PLA with soften when the PolyDryer is at max power.
- Supports: I like to use PLA to support my PETG (and vice versa). This already set up in the slicer

 

Parts:
- Storage containers: https://amzn.to/4f6PgdU

   - make sure to have the hexagon on the lid!
- Bearings: 
   - https://amzn.to/4ffYrJe (more resistance) or 
   - https://amzn.to/3Xeod9y  (less resistance)
- Hygrometers: https://amzn.to/46iyXXw
- Bowden couplers (PC4-M10): https://amzn.to/3A3yBI3
- M3x8 screws and nuts: https://amzn.to/46iuUdV
- Magnets (5x2mm): https://shorturl.at/r4vvn
   - Be mindful to have consistent polarity placement for compatibility over multiple bases and labels!

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I take no credit for this.  I just thought it would be helpful to have everything in one place.
