Description
Edit:
Just an fyi, I've noticed that there is a slight difference inside the cabinet for temp and humidity. I have 4 hydrometers, basically one in each corner. The top is hotter, obviously, and dryer. About a 5 to 10% different. I'm going to add a small usb bower fan in the upper corner blowing down. This should create a circulation to even everything out. I almost wonder if mounting the dehumidifier towards the bottom would have the same effect as it has a fan for circulation.
This is a sealed cabinet I build to store my filament rolls. It uses a dehumidifier and desiccant boxes to keep the material dry. I used 1/4 x 3/4 foam weather stripping for the doors, which is in the model, and standard hinges from Home depot(linked below). I spaced out the hinged just under a 1/4" so it left room for the foam seal but still enough to have a little compression. You can see these 3 pads behind the hinges in the photos.
The model has the door latches as well. These were 3d printed and use a RC Car suspension spring. Just something I had lying around. These could easily be modified to work with a different size spring. But they were from a Traxxas 4x4 Rustler rear suspension.
Here are links to the items I purchased.
