Description
Everybody is adding ball bearing axle shafts into their PolyDryer boxes, but I don't think it is necessary. The original simple shaft from Polymaker actually performs well.
What I struggle with is changing the filament spools in the box. When inserting a spool I always have troubles guiding the shaft straight down so that it fits well into its place. Every damn time. And then my fingers hurt.
I added a simple handle on the side of the shaft and now it is so easy! I also shortened the shaft by 0.5mm which allows the shaft to slide down more smoothly.
