Description

We had a problem with moisture getting into the filament. When I checked online for filament dry boxes, the price per unit was too high, so I decided to make one. There are some great designs available on the Thingiverse that use very little material, but I wanted something more robust with some extra features.

After three unsuccessful iterations of the filament dry box, I came up with this working model. I have printed nine of them, and they work great. The humidity in the room is around 45% but the internal humidity drops to 10 %. I uploaded an assembly instruction video alongside to help with the assembly.

I have also included a bracket that allows you to hang the filament dry box.

Part List

01 Container

The dry box is built inside 21 cup Rubbermaid food container. I have a link to the container attached below. I recommend searching in different stores for the best price,and if you find the clear one it would look even better.

02 Bearings

The design uses four 608 bearings, below are the cheapest ones I could find.

03 Mini Hygrometer

After finishing all 9 of the prints I've realized that they have the white version of the same Hygrometer. Keep in mind that those are not the most accurate, so expect a margin of error.

04 Indicator Silica Gel

I like the indicator silica over regular silica, it's easier to know when you need to change it, although it's redundant since the design is using a Hygrometer.

05 PTFE ID-4mm OD-6mm

I used a tube with internal diameter of 4mm, this makes it possible to use the filament dry box with 2.85 (commonly referred to as 3mm) and 1.75 filaments.
