A better Lock & Lock Filament Dehydrator

thingiverse

This is my custom filament dehydrator. Since there wasn't one on Thingiverse that met my requirements, I designed and built it myself. Here's what you need to make this dehydrator: 1x Lock & Lock HSM948H container - find it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004J18IAA/?tag=thingverse-20 Bottom: 4x M4 8mm to 12mm screws (get ones between 8 and 12 mm in length) 1x M4 30mm screw (for the middle, which holds the spool holder) 2x 608 (ZZ) bearings with low friction - these will make it easy to twist the spool Stand: 2x M4 30mm screws 2x M4 20mm screws And some 100g of silica gel. I prefer the orange type that turns green when wet. For the feeder, I used this design: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2116535 - feel free to use a different one if you like. To attach it to the Lock & Lock container, insert an M10 PTFE coupler, then warm it up with a heat gun and press it into place. Let it cool down before drilling any holes. The spool holder is designed for 52mm spools and can hold up to 1kg of filament. Important note: The spool holder has a press-fit design for the 608 bearings. Depending on your printer's accuracy, you might need to sand it down slightly so the bearings fit in properly. I created a tool to help with this process - find it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3830407
