Description

PDF

This is a DIY Multi-Roll Dry-Box for keeping filament dry which features:

  • PTFE external tubes for connecting directly to 3D printer
  • Desiccant holders
  • Hygrometer holder
  • Perspex window
  • Ability to enclose filament to reduce moisture content.
  • Ability to easily label each filament roll
  • Filament holder caps x 3 for different functions

There are 3 types filament caps for exit holes .. 

  1. to hold the filament inside the box to access the filament without opening the case.
  2. to hold the PTFE tube for the filament
  3. to have the filament extrude from the filament roll without the PTFE tube

This has been designed to be minimal work and cheap to make, however I used two 3D printers to print .. and Elegoo Max and Bambu X1C. The front hinge needs to use two filaments either PETG and support or PETG and PLA (so that the connectors print without support)

 

Filament labels are available in my other DryBox model
