Cereal Box - Silica desiccant Container

As you can see in the photos, I achieved excellent results. If you get poor results, please check your filament and settings before leaving negative feedback. Issues are often caused by old or damp filament, a poorly calibrated printer, etc.

The goal of this model, in conjunction with "cereal boxes," is to store filament spools in an airtight environment to prevent moisture absorption.

Thanks to the integrated rollers, you can print directly from the box while keeping the spool protected inside.

Use a 4mm hexagonal, allen wrench to screw the rollers. Tip: To allow the rollers to spin freely, tighten the screw all the way in (but not too tight, as it’s plastic, not metal), then slightly loosen it (about a quarter turn) until the roller turns smoothly without resistance.

• Holds silica gel beads to dehydrate the filament.
• Supports a hygrometer to monitor humidity levels and determine when to replace the silica gel.
• This model is suitable for most spools. You can use spools from 50mm (internal width of the reel) to 69,9mm (external width of the reel).
• Regarding the amount of silica, you can use about 170 cm³. Personally, I use much less, it lasts about a month before I need to replace it (I regenerate it in the oven).
• I have sized it so that it can be also printed from the small BambuLab Mini.

Printing Recommendations: No special requirements, except for the screws, where I used 3 "walls." Simply use the included print profile. I printed with PLA, and the screws fit tightly into the threads without needing any deburring. I hope your printing experience is just as seamless.

I bought a 2kg pot of silica gel on Amazon:
