Description
After trying several different solutions for my filament spool dry-box enclosure needs, I decided to design my own. I really liked the Ultimate Cereal Box Enclosure system by @GunplaMark, but wanted the reliability of the Filamentalist for my retraction needs. I also wanted a more easily manageable system of cereal-container dry boxes that I could mount a number of different ways. Here are some of the features of this system:
Compatible with commonly available in North America cereal dry boxes (like this one from amazon (no affiliate links): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NP98YKY )
Can act as an efficient sealed individual drybox for a spool using the filamentalist passive rewinder spool and attaches to their 2020 rail mount
Holds either rectangular or circular hygrometers for easy viewing
Has several mounting options (3 base M3 mount holes for fastening to rails, or a back mount to attach to multiconnect (supports opengrid and multiboard mounting options)
Uses the gasket in the cereal box top to ensure a better seal
Allows them to be efficiently stacked next to each other while mounted to something
Supports either PC4-M10 or ECAS04 PTFE tube attachment components
Fits on a normal prusa/bambu build plate for all components
Has an optional mount that sits on top of a Voron for easy slide-on/off access
Has a holder for visible filament ID tags
Has an optional basket for easy dessicant management inside the container
This is a customizable openscad model that uses the BOSL2, and bosl2-parts libraries.
1x M3 Brass Insert (for Filamentalist mount)
1x M3 8mm Screw (for Filamentalist mount)
2x M3 30mm Screws (for hinges), or 45mm (if using a tag holder)
2x M3 nuts (for hinges)
1x PC4-M10 or ECAS04 coupler
(optional) M3 screws for mounting the bottoms
Re-use the gasket from the top of the cereal box
Extra side and top layers may improve airtight seals depending on your printer quality.
The Hygrometer holders are the only part intended to need support material.
The filament tag holder must be assembled after printing (slide the two nubs into the slots on the main holder's back end
Update 2026-01-03 -- Added a basket to hold dessicant (basket.stl) with an optional funnel to easily pour to/from (basket_funnel). Also added a tag holder (tag_holder) that can be placed on the hinge and is compatible with the tags used by other systems as well for filament tags being displayed on either side.
Update: 2025-12-24 -- Added 80/20 slide in Voron case mount, improved ECAS04 fit, support round hygrometers with different angles
Update: 2025-12-14 -- Fixed gap on the height of the mount -- thanks @AlexKid
