I couldn't find an elegant 3kg dry box spool storage, so I decided to make my own, inspired by a smaller dry box already existing.

The profiles are all prepared; just print them and assemble, no support is needed
I split the design into parts for ease of printing on any printer with a bed 230 and up Also, there's a full size if your printer can print big

#(UPDATE) April 2025
added a new version compatible with Polymaker polydryer. Remember if you do this version, print with petg or ABS for temperature resistance (the only change I did here is the base part to adapt polydryer you can still combine it with the previous version
#(UPDATE) Jul 1st 2025
After extensive testing, I found that while the current rollers work well with all my DIY printers, the Bambu Lab A1 had difficulty pulling filament reliably. To solve this, I redesigned the roller system for near-zero friction. The new design simplifies the mechanism and allows the spool to roll directly on ball bearings, which significantly improves performance β the A1 can now pull filament smoothly with no issues.
π If you've already printed the older base, donβt worry β no need to reprint everything!
I've added a small upgrade part that you can print and attach to your existing base. You can either super glue it or screw it into the bottom of your current setup.
Updated .3MF file included
STL files are oriented and ready to print without support
