Description

I designed this drybox because I couldn’t find any models out there that fit my needs. I wanted a compact, wall-mounted solution that would keep my filament dry while printing, and it had to be printable on the A1 Mini. After a bit of trial and error, this is the result!

The hydrometer is not required. If you want to print it without it, simply remove the modifier!
 

Key Features:

  • Perfect for Small Printers: Designed to be printable on the A1 Mini, but you can slice it differently if you have a larger print bed. Simply download the STL for doing so!
  • Customizable Fit: Easily adjust the modifier to accommodate different moisture meters.
  • Space-Saving Design: Mounts on the wall to save space and keep your workspace tidy.
  • Requires Some Post-Processing: A bit of finishing and gluing is needed, but once it's done, you'll have a reliable drybox to keep your filament moisture-free.

Download the STL for the full model, or tweak it to suit your setup. I hope it helps you as much as it’s helped me!

You do not want to hang it on the wall?
Simply use screws and nuts to attach the holder to the box and use a cylindrical modifier to place a hole for the filament wherever you need it. Give it a diameter of 4mm - then a PTFE Tube should fit nicely. You can also close the other hole with the “add part” feature. Or just put some hot glue over it… :D

Tipps for assembly:
I use a soldering iron (cheap one from Amazon - I used 180 - 220 degrees) with a flat bit to melt the parts together. The dovetails make it easy to hold them together while working on it. I clicked the parts together and then fused them from both sides. The result felt really sturdy. Alternatively glue/hotglue might work of course. The decoration on the lid is not necessary - but if you glue it on top, it hides the dovetails nicely.

I would advice to glue a small PTFE Tube in the hole on the bottom for the filament. So far you can print very nicely out of it :)

Beautiful design. But 2 problems. 1. the hole for the hygrometer is too big. That's on me as I didn't measure before printing. I'm using the standard 45mm ones. I reused the inner ring of "Magnetic Hygrometer Mount from sabesnait" and now it fits. 2. Most of my spools touch the floor. Tested Bambulab, Creality, Sunlu.... The only ones hanging where Geetech 250g spool and ELEGOO. I'm either going to reprint the screwed on spool holder asymmetrical (higher-up) or bigger or add an adapter.

Thank you so much for printing my design! You can adjust the modifier to your Hygrometer or even replace it with an rectangular one. Point 2. is completely fair - But I am using it for a while now and in practice it does not really make a difference. The spool should still be able to move freely and it is still fairly quiet. Just out of curiosity: You replaced the hole for the filament? Would you prefered it, if the whole was a moveable modifier too? :)

Yep, Point 1 totally my fault, but I realized after soldering everything. So I needed a different solution. Point 2 I will try without. But a sleeve/cylinder 83 mm tall (to miss screw and placeholder on lid) and perhaps 42-45 mm outer diameter is probably in my future :D A modifier for the hole would have made my life easier. But that way I learned you can't move added parts. You can add negative part, move it to the right space and change it to part. I like learning new things ;-)

I just wanted to write it again, in case someone sees your comment first and does not run in the same problem :D Thank you so much for your boost!
