Description

A few days ago I found a box matching the Sunlu Filament Dryer S2, where you can refresh your silica. The idea is great, so I desined my own box using a Bambu spool. This way it is possible to rotate the spool from time to time and change the ordering of the silica inside the box for faster drying. Do not print in PLA. I used ASA, ABS and maybe PETG are also okay.

Update: I uploaded another version of this thing. It uses a lid for handling of the silika. Check my models, which version fits your needs better.

Hi, how long and what temperature you set for your filament dryer for this much silica? Thank you!

very good, I glued one side on because it would sometimes make a small opening when I rotate it in the dryer but other than that amazing don’t overfill it otherwise mission to get out😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

worked perfect with a brim in abs. gread design good product. and not a lot of filament used.

@Plastik.Poet

I like this print a lot so thanks for sharing. (Generic Profile, eSUN PETG transparent, P1S) Some might see it as lost space but I will dry my AMS silicia boxes inside of this filament spool box with my dryer. There is also space left to put some smaller silicia packs in between so i can vac filament outside of the ams as well.

Printed perfect using Generic ABS. Will be trying it out in my filament dryer today. Thanks.

Printed with PET-G Part fits

@BRANDTaktuell

Do you use the generic PETG setting for this print? I also want it to print with PETG, because I don’t have ASA.

@Plastik.Poet

Replying to @BRANDTaktuell :

I used the generic PETG profile without any problems. (P1S) + eSUN PETG transparent Dry out your PETG before printing to minimize stringing tho. Obviously, this model has LOTS of small travels without extruding because of the chosen design.

I used PETG-HF from Bambu. It's one of my first prints and I don't have much experience yet.

Clever idea, but unfortunately, implementation failed after three attempts. Otherwise, it would have been quite good. There is a recurring problem (a gap) in the frame/at the transition between the "basket" and the filament spool. Gluing isn't an option either—the beads need to be filled somehow.

What's the printer and filament you are using? My own print fits perfect, no problem at all. I printed the modell using BambuLab P1S and ASA-Filament.

@Elyot

ABS behaves similarly to, but not identically as, ASA I would suggest the following: - Smooth PEI Plate with adhesive - Standard ABS profile, but significantly reduced flow (30%) - Patience after printing Wait until the print plate reaches room temperature before opening the printer door Dried filament should be clear

@danlangsten

Perfect ASA print, but it doesn't fit over the spool The diameter appears slightly too small

The part is optimizied for press fit on the spool. The print needs to cool down to room temperature before opening the printer to avoid shrinking.
