Filament Storage Container with Hygrometer

After some research, I came to the conclusion that the best and cost effective way to keep filament dry, is to use a cereal box. These are cheap and provide a perfect seal from the elements. This build adds a Hygrometer and Thermometer to the design. I choose to have the Desiccant loose in the base of the box, because this allows it to work best, plus this way means recharging is simply a case of pouring out the box and onto a try, without having to fiddle with little storage boxes.

Print Notes

Some people have reported that the cereal boxes they've purchased have had a larger circle and so the standard version does not seal correctly. For those people I have created a version with a larger circle. If unsure print the ‘standard’ version first. (Standard Ø 59.8mm - Large Ø 60.5mm)

This model is an easy print, although it does require some support material. Each lid is 30g of material, I would recommend PLA.
