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 needed1 Drybox
- 1 Hygrometer
- 4 608 ZZ Bearing (8mm x 22mm x 7mm)
- 1 Compression Fitting
- 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 :)
