Description

Filament spool storage container, with tabs for feet removed to make the holders smaller to preserve space when using on spool shelving.

You will need 8 M3x40mm screws for the hinges and clasps.

New Twist Lock Version Available: A few people have struggled to get the threads to print cleanly, so I came up with a design that requires less precision, and only a quarter turn to watch the lid to boot! Check out the new twist lock version for a cap that locks in place with a quarter turn. Grab it here: Filament Spool Container Twist Lock

New XL Version Available: I was asked if there was a larger version that could hold larger spools like the Amazon Basics spools. The XL version can handle spools 12mm larger than the original. Grab it here: Filament Spool Storage Box XL Tabs Removed Remixed by Eric - MakerWorld

New Flush Bottom Version Available: I was asked if I could add a lip to the bottom of the container to allow the container to stand upright on its side without needing to lean against anything. This version has a lip on the bottom of the base to match the lip on the top of the base, allowing it to stand upright. Grab it here: Filament Spool Storage Box Flush Bottom

Update: I have made a print profile of the gasket with an extended top portion, allowing for a tighter seal of the lid and base. It is extremely tight to close the latches if you print this version of the gasket, so it may provide a better seal.

Hydrometer Remix: See the link below for the remix made by Bobbalucci with a desiccant meter added to the lid. Be sure to print the base with the 20mm shorter desiccant bin to use the remixed lid.

these are great storage and make it easy to choose a color

You are my hero for printing so many in all of the colors like that, exactly what I am planning to try. And now that I see how amazing it looks I'm all in!

Hello friend! What filament shelf bracket did you use? Thanks!

@mechapecker

Darn it. I wish I had t seen this… now I have to go print a dozen or so filament colored enclosures because I know *this* exists. 😂

Really nice containers. Got a bit carried away with printing these and plan to print lots more. I also designed and printed some labels on a carbon fibre effect sheet (I have also uploaded the design with labels for every bambu lab filament type).

Easy to print and looks way better then the bags

That looks awesome! Going to steal your idea and just color the hinges; that way, if someone discontinues a color, I can just print new hinges and not a whole new container. :)

I love this, but I can't figure out why I'm getting this stringing in the desiccant container. Happens every time. I've tried three different brands of filament and fiddled with temp settings. Any advice? I can always get the cap on after cleaning it up a bit, so it isn't the end of the world.

I’ve had that happen with ASA and ABS before. After closing it up and putting a touch of lubricant on I got it to work. To stop it I enabled adaptive layer height and made sure the threads were 0.16mm.

@EricEJ

I just went and checked, I never fixed it for ASA, but I did fix it when it happened to my ABS. I only have 3 colors of ASA, so I didn't get much opportunity to fix it. When I did fix it for ABS I did so by doing the adaptive layer height thing. I was surprised that resolved it as well as it did, but it did the trick. To set the adaptive layer height exactly where I want it, I go into the printer settings in the slicer and set the minimum layer height to the 0.16 I want. Then I go and enable adaptive layer height on the model, get the threads to 0.16mm, then I go back to the settings and revert to the default settings. The layer height adjustment stays the same, but you can get the printer back to defaults to be able to upload profiles.

Replying to @EricEJ :

That was my first time adjusting layer height...what a weird UI. But it worked! Thank you.

I have literally printed 35-40 of these. Great way to quickly identify color and filament at a glance. Not completely air tight, but just as good as my vacuum bags and way more convenient. Really prefer the 4 latches. The photo is only showing some of the ones that I have printed. A filament has to be a favorite to rate this case (so far only ESUN PLA+ AND Elegoo Rapid PLA+). A lot of my filaments have not made the cut.

I printed these in PLA. They came out very well. The only issue I found is that the bottom / lid where it joins the walls can be brittle. Just keep that in mind if your printing in PLA. The containers WITH the dessicant container don't suffer from this becuase there is structure to the center of the print that does not exist in the non- dessicant version.

Printed great. Looks even better. I did not have M3 screws so i printed some :D Not sure how long they last, but for now, it works. Rated and boosted!

the screw cap in the middle was my only issue. it would screw in and I had to work it over before it would go in enough to close the lid. However that’s probably my fault as I used generic translucent filament since it was my cheapest and least favorite. Will be printing many more of these as I expand my inventory of filament. hinges will be added once I get the hardware.

Looks great. I’ve been making them non-stop myself. Sometimes the threads are pretty tight, but most of the time they’re perfect. If the threads are tight I put a thin layer of the PTFE oil I purchased for the printer along the brim and it loosens it right up.
