This is a filament storage system based on OcieWard's Ocie's 21-Cup Filament Silos (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3138757). Which is a really well documented design for dry box filament storage using the clear version of the Rubbermaid 21 cup storage containers. This remix is designed for the milky plastic Rubbermaid 21 cup storage containers which have a nearly identical design aside from the lid, which does not have a window. I suspect that this will work with the clear Rubbermaid 21 cup storage containers as well since they are so similar. I incorporated a few things of my own as well including the following:
Filament guide for dry box, with o-ring screw cover IMPROVED VERSION

Features:
* A storage compartment for some silica gel or whatever :D
* My "Improved" version of my Filament guide for dry box, with o-ring screw cover (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3951296), which uses an O-ring to seal a ball though which the filament runs through. The idea is the ball allows for some variation in the angles the filament may go into the bowden tube when it rolls off the spool. There is also a cap which can seal with a 2nd O-ring and is used to seal the entire container when not in use.
* The spool roller bogies use a ratcheting mechanism to adjust.
* There is a opening which should be wide enough to accommodate many different enclosure filament pass through setups, including the one I use.
* And finally, there is a latching base, which holds the container and is intended to be mounted in a fixed location such as a shelf or in my case on top of my printer enclosure.
I'm planning to post a couple of remixes for this design soon:
* center axis and roller combo spool holder remix for this soon. This is printed and tested and works, though I prefer the regular rollers in this design. (UPDATE - posted here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4979880)
* I also designed a mount for a 2020 rail, such as the top cross rail on an Ender3, however I have no plans to test that design since I cannot use it with my current setup due to a cabinet above my Ender3. I will however post it as a remix and a work in progress until somebody provides some feedback on it.
I posted the assembly instructions and a BOM at my site:

There is also a blog post here which shows the progression of this design.

The STEP file is included for easy remixing.
