Filament Storage in Cereal Containers
Recently, I purchased a set of airtight 4-liter storage containers from a large online retailer at a good price. My plan was to store filament spools in them. To keep the filament dry and monitor the humidity in the plastic containers, I designed two pods for them, which I would like to share with you.
One has a recess where you can insert a small hygrometer. These are available for little money from the same online retailer. This pod is a bit narrower because the containers have a tapered handle section.
The second pod is intended for desiccant. Loose silica gel is often offered in 1kg packages with a grain size of 2-5mm. Therefore, the holes in the pod only have a diameter of 1.5mm. I didn't want to build a shaker. So far, this works great with Isolatech.
If I dry the spools for a few hours before storing them, they maintain a constant 10% humidity in the containers. However, this is also the minimum reading, so the actual value will be somewhere below 10%.
NOTE: The pods fit my containers perfectly. There may be variations with other brands. In that case, please use scaling to adjust the pods.
