I decided to use IKEA Samla boxes to store my filament. They are stackable an can keep 5 to 7 filament spools (depends on the spool width). But how to put the silica gel in there? You can find some solutions on printables. But no one could fill my needs. Because I have a Bambu Lab AMS I don't want to print the filament directly out of the box and the most solutions can only keep 3 spools. So I decided to create my own dry box. And this is it, my Silica Container for Samla. Each silica container can hold up to 220g of silica gel (2 containers = 440g, 4 containers = 880g). You need 4 of them to fill a whole Samla box, but I decided to fill up only 2 with silica gel. My test Samla box hold up 4 spools at 10% humidity for weeks now.

The parts are printed in PLA with standard quality (0.20mm layer height, 15% infill). I printed pairs of the container. If you have problems to put the lid on the container, try to add X-Y-hole compensation with 0.1 or 0.2 mm. My P1P needs this, if I don't have calibrated the filament.

Clone and Mirror the model in the slicer to get a pair of the containers. The included 3mf file contains a plate with a pair of containers and a plate with a set of funnels.
