Description
This is a remix of @PhilCaruso's excellent auto-rewinder. I've split the base in half, added connectors and re-arranged the objects so it will fit the A1 mini build plate. The food container are sold under many brands, the one I use is the PRAKI Large Dry Food Storage Containers with Lids (4L Black).
This model requires a 4L food storage container and 2 pcs of 608zz skateboard bearings.
Update: Added print profiles for optional accessories.
Desiccant holder: I deliberately made the walls thin to maximize the amount of desiccant that could fit.
TPU plug: The cover that came with the food container will not work for this model because the tab protrudes past the lid. Using this TPU plug will keep the drybox stable and level.
Hygrometer stand: A simple holder for round hygrometers.
PTFE tube cap: This model rewinds the filament too well that the end of the filament gets retracted inside the drybox, potentially causing tangles, and making it necessary to open the drybox to rethread it through the PTFE tube thereby allowing moisture to enter, defeating the purpose of having a drybox. I designed this PTFE tube cap to grab a hold of the filament to prevent it from retracting inside the container. To use properly, press the end of the filament inside the cap before capping the tube.
