Print instructions

Material: PLA or PETG
Layer Height: 0.2
Infill: 20%

Assembly instructions:

After printing, insert tabs into box then glue the spool holding members. Gluing them in the box ensures to correct for differences in printers and different dry box dimensions. Be careful not to glue it into the box unless you want it to be permanent. Then drill holes for the PTFE fittings in the general area shown in the photos above. If you use a smaller hole then the thread OD there is no need to tap as they will self tap as you screw them in. Finally insert desired length PTFE tubing and your good to go. Happy Printing!
