Led to the idea to use resealable cereal containers to store filament in from a redditor, I wanted a way to individually monitor humidity levels so I can tell if a seal fails, or the desiccant packet needs recharging. I also wanted a neater way of labelling the containers, so I designed these. They slide into place at the bottom of the container, and friction-fit with the help of two TPU pads.

Tested with 24 reels, only one has a weird dimension that still interferes with this, but it still works.

Labels printed on regular TZ label printer.
