I made a few dry boxes from werner_rh design https://www.printables.com/model/634289-filament-dry-box-cheap-and-simple and this model is a little helper/aid for making tubes for dry boxes easily and precisely. 

Its a super simple shape to hold 10 mm aluminum tube as proposed in the original concept and help to cut it to 81 mm length. 

Created in Tinkercard - original file is here https://www.tinkercad.com/things/fOdGJEqbG62-wernerrh-drybox-tube-cutter-helper  if you would like to adjust it somehow.

The concept is simple - little lower cutout is for clamp to hold the tube, second clamp additionally holds the whole guide. I have cut about 10 of tubes with mine 1 of 1 first edition printed in transparent PLA without problems - my experience is, that the best way is to rotate the tube 3-4 times and not to cut directly to the bottom.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

The original set of files from werner_rh does not contain any guide/helper for cutting the tubes to size, so this is an addition to his nice design.
