Dry & Print BOX 4 lt - Zero Friction
Print Profile(4)
Description
This airtight container allows you to protect your spools from moisture while printing with a total absence of friction and jamming during rotation
I experimented with several solutions for inserting the filament into the 4-liter box, but on models with two lower rollers, the filament spools kept sliding off the edge and not rotating smoothly... so I solved the problem!
among the images, you will find the assembly diagram even though everything is very simple
I tested this model with a wide variety of filament spools, all successfully
depending on the brand of the spool and its size, the base underneath and the central pin change:
for spools wider than about 63 mm, like those from Bambulab, a thicker base is needed that slightly widens the plastic of the box on the side of the hand recess, while for those under 63 mm, like most available on the market, the small base can be used to save material
upon request, I can make other central pins (don't hesitate to ask ;D) that fit other brands, thus making this method universal and versatile
I will soon upload the file for the central pins for other spools
Stay tuned
I also created a clip; a quick-to-print accessory to organize, join, and keep multiple containers side by side in an AMS style, try them, available here:

the hygrometer support that fits perfectly in the box you can find here:
Version 2.0 of the hygrometer support that allows you to easily and quickly replace silica gel packets without having to remove the spool from the airtight container:
