Description

Hello guys, here's my new spool dryer to attach to my previously created bamboo dresser. This new add-on will allow us to store the external filament spool in a watertight container that has its filter with drying beads.

I printed everything in PETG and used the following specifications:

Walls: 3 perimeters
Bottom and Top: 3 perimeters
Infill: 15%
Layer Height: 0.24 mm
Nozzle: 0.4 mm

However, I recommend printing everything with a 0.6 mm nozzle and a layer height of 0.3 mm.

In the specific print of the main body, you'll notice that the pieces have 4 protrusions inside them. Please add supports to them so that there are no vibrations during the printing of the side walls.

I also recommend using a 25% infill for the printing of the rollers

At normal speed, the print should not exceed 24 hours, but you can always increase the speed and you'll use approximately 800 grams of material.

Among the files, there's also a version without attachments to the dresser module. Perhaps you prefer to simply place it near the printer.

I'm also adding the files for the print bed support, both for 3 and 4 beds. This is because we need to move the beds to the right, while now if you've already printed the dresser, they are on the left.

You can find the assembly video for the box here:

Here are the links for the materials used:

Epoxy adhesive and, if desired, silicone sealant to make the box watertight.

Rubber window gasket:

I wish you a happy print and look forward to your comments and feedback!

Great model. It will need an active heating element in order to actually dry the filament. Desicant alone can keep something dry for a while but it will not actively remove moisture. Seems like you are very close however. Just by adding a small and simple reptile warming mat to the unit below the rollers would be enough to actively dry the filament and make the desiccant last longer - and a hole with a plug you can take out at the top in order to release the hot moisture created from drying while active. I love the model, thanks for publishing! Its on my print list :-)

Thanks a bunch for the compliments! Indeed, this box is like the bodyguard for your spools during printing. But you know, I'm working on a real "wellness lounge" for your spools, a rejuvenation spot where they can unwind in a dry and cozy atmosphere. It'll be big enough to make ten spools feel like Hollywood stars on vacation! The product will have the dimensions of a bambu. Stay tuned for the grand debut!

@RockChewer
