The model now allows you to add labels indicating the filament type.
The model now features ventilation slots for better moisture absorption.
New print profiles have names starting with “New_xxx” — these should be used as priority.
Older print profiles start with “OLD_xxx” (use them only if you have a good reason).
⚠️ Important: Third-party print profiles added by other users are not necessarily up to date. Unfortunately, I have no control over them and cannot remove or update them (to my great regret). Please prioritize the official Designer profiles (green badge) for the best results.
This model is designed to sit inside airtight containers (commonly cereal storage boxes) to keep your 3D printing filament dry. It includes a dedicated compartment for silica gel beads and rollers that lets you unwind and print directly from the spool while it remains sealed in the box.
Compatible Boxes It fits most popular cereal storage containers sold on Amazon, such as Praki, Skroam, and Wildone.
But avoid the following box, the reduction in width makes it incompatible with our model
Silica compartment: Holds approximately 170 cm³ of silica gel beads (you can use significantly less and it still works well).
Rollers: Enables smooth filament feeding straight from inside the dry box — highly recommended for direct printing.
Hygrometer holder: Allows you to monitor internal humidity and know when it’s time to dry or replace the silica.
Labels: add labels so you can easily identify the filament type.
Spool Compatibility Suitable for most standard filament spools with a width between 48 mm and 70 mm (I recommend staying under 69 mm for a safe fit).
Roller Options
You have two choices:
3D-printed rollers (included with the model) Fasten them using a 4 mm hex (Allen) wrench. Pro tip: Tighten the screw fully, then back it off about a quarter turn until the roller spins freely without any resistance.
608 bearings (easy to find on Amazon, AliExpress, or Bambu Lab Maker’s Supply). Be sure to install the washer as shown in the photos. switch to bearings? → : GoHere!
Printing Recommendations: No special requirements, except for the screws, where I used 3 "walls." Simply use the included print profile. I printed with PLA, and the screws fit tightly into the threads without needing any deburring. I hope your printing experience is just as seamless.

You'll find different types of Cereal Storage (4 liters) on Amazon. I've tested the three types of boxes shown in the photo. My favorite is the Wildone/Skroam/Praki one — I highly recommend it as your first choice. If you can't find it, then go for one of the other two.

A note on print quality: I test all my models before uploading. If your print doesn't turn out well, check your filament (old? wet?) and printer calibration first. Most issues come from these, not the model.
