Filament Dry Box

I wanted a proper IP65 filament dry box with some good capacity for my 3D printer. There are plenty of DIY and commercial options on the market, but I figured that I would toss my hat in the ring as well. Here it is (the hat)!

This particular design is intended to accommodate 4x 1kg rolls of filament in a 5 Gallon Husky waterproof container, but the same parts could be adapted to any container design as long as it can utilize 3/4in PVC as a spool holder axle.

Design Highlights

  • Capacity for 4x 1.75mm 1kg filament spools with independent filament feeds (enough for an MMU2 or similar multi-filament printing solution).
  • A proper IP65 rated waterproof container.
  • TPU gaskets on all mounting hardware to reduce air / moisture leakage into the container.
  • Push to connect fittings for all filament positions. Allows a bowden tube to be connected for easy filament routing and reduced moisture ingress.
  • Can be stacked with additional containers.
  • Room for plenty of dessicant (loose beads or packages) below the filament spools!
