Airtight Tupperware Spool Holder

thingiverse

This is a spool holder designed for the IRIS Premium Airtight Pet Food Storage Container. I needed a way to keep my filament dry while printing, and having it right next to a sink made that hard. This design includes an optional dry box that you fill with anti-moisture material. You'll need to drill holes into your container; this shouldn't be a surprise. The feeder is big enough for most PTFE tubes, allowing your filament to slide easily. To seal any gaps where moisture might leak in, I recommend using sealants around the screws. The two spool pieces use standard 608ZZ bearings to keep the main peg loose. Included are two designs: one with a spring on the main peg and another with a simple square extension peg. To put together the extension peg, you'll need to print two of design 1 pegs and assemble them. This design sits loosely on the 608ZZ bearings. UPDATE: 08-22: I've added a new type of spool roll (file: spool roll(3).stl), which should work much better than the previous one. On my machine, it works amazingly well so far. I'll be adding a filament sensor latch for the tupperware as well, so stay tuned for that update.
