Airtight filament canister - 4mm PTFE port plug

thingiverse

I really like the system that henryarnold posted, found here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1332650 . I changed my slightly. I added a hydrometer to the container, link is below. I also made an IKEA lack enclosure (I will be posting those files soon too) and my filament is on top and fed down into the exclosure. I keep my PTFE tubing connected to my extruder and just move it to whatever filament that I am using. I use the PTFE cap that henryarnold made when the tubing is not connected. Then I made this plug to go into the 4mm PTFE ports that I have in my dry boxes to keep it sealed. The v1 file is the first one I did, then realized it was a pain to open the lid and feed the filament out and into the tubing. I drilled a 1/16" hole down into the shaft of the plug to push the filament into so when I pull the plug out, the filament comes with it and I don't have to open the lid ever time. I made v2 the same but added a 1.75mm hole in the shaft so I don't have to try and drill holes in them. Drilling them wasn't hard, but why do that when I can just print something else. I will add a couple pictures soon as well.
