Description
I have designed a filament drying box that fits on the original holder of the Qidi Plus 4 3D printer, but it's also universally compatible with other setups. The box consists of a lid and a base where you place the filament spool. The filament is guided out to the printer through a nozzle, ensuring a smooth and dry feed during printing. --- ### Features: - **Custom Fit for Qidi Plus 4:** Designed to sit securely on the original filament holder of the printer. - **Universal Compatibility:** Can be used with other 3D printers and setups. - **Filament Guide Nozzle:** Directs the filament from the box to the printer, maintaining dryness. - **Temperature and Humidity Monitoring:** Includes a slot for a temperature and humidity display to monitor conditions inside the box. - **Silica Gel Compartment:** Features a dedicated space for silica gel packets to keep the filament dry during printing. --- ### Required Accessories: - **Temperature and Humidity Display:** To monitor the internal conditions, I used this display: [Temperature and Humidity Monitor](https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07JDSHD4Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1). - **Silica Gel Packets:** For moisture absorption, I used these packets: [Silica Gel Desiccant Packets](https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07TCGPZXK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1). - **Filament Guide Nozzle:** To guide the filament out of the box, I used this nozzle: [Filament Guide Tube Connector](https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07PV8754Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). --- ### Printing Instructions: - **Material:** Printed with PETG for better stability. PLA might work as well, but I haven't tested it. - **Assembly:** The box is designed for easy assembly with all the necessary slots and compartments for the accessories. --- Feel free to customize and adapt the design to suit your specific needs.
