-----Model description-----

Tired of wet filament and expensive storage solutions? This ultra low-cost filament storage system is designed to give you maximum efficiency with minimal material. With only 27 g of filament and about 1 hour of print time, you get a fully functional filament storage container. Combined with a standard 4 L food container, a hygrometer, any desiccant of your choice, and a clear filament label, you always know exactly what material you’re using and in what condition. Compatible with filament spool widths from 50 mm to 78 mm.

The design is optimized for cost: 1 kg of filament is enough for up to 37 storage containers, making this one of the most economical filament storage solutions available. Multiple print plates are included for fast batch production, flexible label selection, and easy customization. Simple, efficient, and made for real-world printing.
