Description

After some research, I came to the conclusion that the best and cost effective way to keep filament dry, is to use a cereal box. These are cheap and provide a perfect seal from the elements. This build adds a Hygrometer and Thermometer to the design. I choose to have the Desiccant loose in the base of the box, because this allows it to work best, plus this way means recharging is simply a case of pouring out the box and onto a try, without having to fiddle with little storage boxes.

Fantastic! This project came out perfectly. The lids print cleanly and fit perfectly into the lids of the 4L containers. I've not added the desiccant on the bottom yet but will once it arrives. Thank you so much!

Thanks, I will measure my cereal boxes and try this out. I think indeed it's best to have the desiccant visible at the bottom and the hygrometer at the top.

Good model and fast printing, but the fit is too big on the seal so it doesn't really seal tightly.
