Description

UPDATE:

I have now tagged the hygro holders with the filament names to avoid confusion.

All hygroscopic filaments can now be saved with tags.

 

Follow me so you don't miss any updates on my projects.

This dry mod is for the Kichly 4l cereal box (oval chute opening, vailable in germany, united kingdom, france, spain, maybe all over europe @mazon (search "kichly 4l", best price @ UK, incl. shipping to GER) and Amazon.com.

 

The filament stays dry in the airtight container. I have integrated a silica container that can hold 100g silica in the 15mm version.
If 100g arn't enough for you, take the 20mm (~125g) version.

It can also hold very small spools (Ø135-145mm) and standard spools (Ø200mm) with a maximum width of 66mm (BBL filament).

If you want to keep your hygroscopic filaments (ABS/PETG/TPU, etc.) dry throughout, this variant is a very good choice.

 

These boxes are more cost-effective in the long term than vacuum bags. These leak quickly and you have to buy often new ones. Some of the cheap Chinese bags leak as soon as they are unpacked. In addition, the storage looks nicer and not so messy. In my opinion, single storage is also better, as a large box with many spools always lets in a lot of moisture and is absorbed by filaments that arn't needed. In the single boxes, the humidity is 10-20% with 100g silica.... Anything below 30% is still acceptable in my experience.
Remember that the silica can only maintain the humidity of the filament but not reduce it!

 

If you use orange silica, you don't necessarily need the hygrometer, but it looks good and you don't always need to check for the changing color.
Useful to know: Dry orange silica with max. 120°C in the oven and white with max. 170°C. Use 110 and 160 respectively and you will have something from your silica for a long time. Never use the microwave, it destroys the silica!

The hygro holder is optional and tilted forwards so that the display is closer to the plastic and easier to read.

The nice thing is, the box can be used again for its original purpose, because no hole must be drilled and nowhere glued.

Note 1: You can print out of the box with this release from me

Note 2: Calibrate your filament before printing (for example: Sunlu/Jayo PLA+ -> K-Factor = 0.025 & Flow Ratio = 0.98)!!!!

Note 3: Easy removal of the minimalistic support


Filling:
Fill the silica into the bottom tray.
Lift the lower part into the box (photo).
Click the hygrometer holder into the lid
Take the hygrometer holder and insert the lid into the box (photo)

Keep it simple!

I'm looking forward to your photo. Please also mention which filament you used. Without the hygro-bracket it will be tricky to put on/remove the lid.

Works great. I shrinked the top part by one percent, so it holds together a little bit better. Fits perfectly in the cereal box.

Hi, congratulations on the box, it's really beautiful! I was also thinking about making myself some boxes to store the coils and I think I will definitely make yours! Can I ask you what hygrometer do you use and where can I find it? Thank you!

Hi @3DByron, thanks for all the information, I purchased the containers and hygrometers and I'm printing your pieces, I wanted to ask you, do you have the brackets without CF? Or without writing but with space to write, because the one without writing that is here in the project does not have space to write. Thank you very much.

Hi designer. Nice project! I ordered the boxes, still waiting. But I've received the hygrometers today. I want to start printing so tried the holder. I'm in the process of looking for the pla tags. I'm I doing something wrong, but can't find a regular Pla en pla+ sign? I can make my own, but was just curious. thanks!

oh dear, I'm on 3D vacation ;) By now you must have drawn a plus with a marker behind the PLA label. But nice of you to remind me. I'll update the PLA+ sign when the time comes.

Your profile printed perfectly with the x1 carbon. Really nice ideia for filament storage. works very well and it's easy to store and manage. Single storage units seem to work better than a big box you have to open every time you need to switch filament.

Nice design. How tight fits the storage, the lid and the bracket, can it also be used on the head? To save space, I would like to place every second box upside down.

Thank you for liking it. It will probably be too loose, as the shape of the can is conical at the top and the base is not flat.

Hi, i really like the design. Great work. I have bought some GoMaihe 4L boxes and need to adjust te design a little. How did you take the internal measurements of the container, including die indent? The gomaihe have a slightly different shape. Thanks for the help.

Hello, thank you very much for your interest. In fact, I measured, printed, inserted, looked where it got stuck, improved, printed etc. until it fitted well. Unfortunately, I also produced a lot of waste in the process. The work was worth it for me and thanks to your openness to new ideas, it was worth it for you too! <3

Beautiful box base. Printed on an Ender Neo Max while waiting for my Bambu and it went perfectly.
