IKEA 365+ Drybox/Filament Storage

IKEA 365+ Drybox/Filament Storage

 

The Ikea 365+ 10,6l Box  is perfect for air tight filament storage. In combination with the silica container in the front it becomes a great option to store 2 filament roles. Due to the 4 rotating axis you can print the filament directly out of the boxes.

There are simmilar models on makerworld already but i wanted to integrate some more features so i did my own.

 

The silica container can be taken out easily by two handles without removing any of the other parts. If you print it in ASA CF or ABS GF you can put the whole container with the silica gel in an dryer (70° C or higher)

 

What else do you need?

 

8x 608 zz Bearing

2x M8 Threaded Rod (157 mm per piece)

1x Hygrometer

 

These are very comon products and you can find them on amazon, aliexpress, etc.

 

I would recommend to go with the threaded M8 Rod you can also print yourself an 8 mm axis (length 157 mm)

Of course it can be printed in PLA/PETG aswell, but i wanted to keep the silica gel in the container when regenerating. Since i want to dry it fast i need at least 70° C to dry it. This is where PETG and PLA is not the right material anymore. If you dry with lower temperature it is no problem to use PLA/PETG.

 

It is not possible to print all of it on the A1 mini. The filament holder is too big. You can split the filament holder into two parts and glue it together. 

 

I will make a second Printprofile for an “only Storage” solution with a fixed axis soon.

 

This really helped me to organize filaments and keep them dry. I hope it does for you too.
