Description

Modified base with reduced slitsize to avoid smaller silica balls to get through them and added a new bracket for a hygrometer

Will fit the following container
Bracket works with the following hygrometer*

I recommend using colour changing reusable silica gel to keep track of when to change the silicagel

Parts to print

What you need:

  • Print the Filament Base first (without supports) 
  • Print 2 Roller

Print one Silica Lid and check if it snaps to the base
Depending on the filament you may need to resize it in small (0,5 - 1,5%) steps Optional but recommended:

Print the screws linked above
Depending on the filament I would recommend to scale the nut up a bit so the thread goes easy.

Print one Spacer for the temp-sensor/hydrometer
For bigger spools I'd recommend the original wedge above as it will push the sides better to fit bigger spools. ### Additional parts needed

1 Drybox

  • 1 Hygrometer 
  • 4 608 ZZ Bearing (8mm x 22mm x 7mm) 
  • 1 Compression Fitting

Assembly

  • Insert 2 Bearings into each roller
  • Mount both roller to the base
  • Fill the silica box in the base (approx 40g until full - way more than enough for 4L)
  • Add the lid and set the whole base into the container
  • Insert the hydrometer into the spacer-wedge

Install in front of the box where the grip is Optional:

Drill 10mm hole where you want to guide your filament outside

  • Install the printed screw
  • Screw in the compression fitting
  • You might also hotglue a small (6x3) magnet from the inside of the lid to attach a filament swatch from the outside :)

Sadly to narrow for most of my Spools. For anyone who wants to print this: Check the Dimensons of your Spool. 61mm at max.

support material near the connection point had a lot of filament strings but overall, the design of the product worked for my needs. Fit perfectly.
