Dry / extrude box

thingiverse

Hey everyone, since I did not find a matching dry box from which I could extrude directly in to my Creality Ender 5 S1 I designed my own one. Of course it can be used for any other printers. In addition to the printed parts I have bought the following parts: - PVC-bar (If you want to you could also print these ones so I added the STL-files dry_box_pvc_bar_22 and dry_box_pvc_bar_47) https://www.bauhaus.info/metallprofile-kunststoffprofile/winkelprofil/p/25397307 - Plexiglas 25mm x 50mm (Bottom, back and top do not need to be cut ,for the side walls you can simply cut a piece in half, the door at the front must be cut to size for this, I did this with a cutter knife) https://www.bauhaus.info/aluplatten-kunststoffplatten/hobbyglas-owocor/p/14211149?adb_search=Plexiglas - Bar https://www.hornbach.de/p/rundstange-alu-natur-o-8-mm-1-m/6449136/ - 2 x thread insert M4 (for handle) For corners: - 48 x M4x10 hexagon screw - 48 x M4 nut - 48 x M4 washer For hinges: - 6 x M3x10 Countersunk screw - 6 x M3 nut - 6 x m3 washer - 2 x metal dowel for shelfs (https://www.amazon.de/LouMaxx-Bodentr%C3%A4ger-mit-Ring-Bohrung/dp/B07MW7C1F3/ref=sr_1_6?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=28AI05XURYBJM&keywords=metalld%C3%BCbel%2Bregal&qid=1695830914&sprefix=metall%2Bd%C3%BCbel%2Bregal%2Caps%2C131&sr=8-6&th=1) I only designed these hinges because I had these metal dowels lying around, before you buy them you can also just print ready-made hinges, you can find enough of them here on thingiverse ;) - Thermometer to measure the humidity https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07JW7K2M5/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07JW7K2M5&pd_rd_w=7zefV&content-id=amzn1.sym.ae2317a0-2175-4285-af64-66539858231f&pf_rd_p=ae2317a0-2175-4285-af64-66539858231f&pf_rd_r=SMMWJVAYKX29S2GZKEH3&pd_rd_wg=ylffQ&pd_rd_r=e3265e32-bfe4-4f28-9aac-53698ae69ee3&s=industrial&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw I reach a humidity of about 35% in my box (the humidity in the rest of the room is 50 - 60%) - 5 x 3Dman PC4-M10 Male https://www.amazon.de/3Dman-Pneumatic-Connector-Long-Distance-Parts-20pcs/dp/B07SKX5P9P/ref=pd_bxgy_img_sccl_2/257-5579294-2104808?pd_rd_w=gRWdN&content-id=amzn1.sym.1fd66f59-86e9-493d-ae93-3b66d16d3ee0&pf_rd_p=1fd66f59-86e9-493d-ae93-3b66d16d3ee0&pf_rd_r=5D0NJ3Z21GZ8W1WSJW5M&pd_rd_wg=gcCCi&pd_rd_r=946aa56c-cf00-4e79-a592-50c1d17ddbfd&pd_rd_i=B07SKX5P9P&th=1 - 5 x M10 nut - Something that absorbs moisture for the granulate boxes, for example: https://www.amazon.de/Weriirew-Luftfeuchtigkeit-Lebensmittelqualit%C3%A4t-Feuchtigkeitsabsorber-Luftentfeuchter/dp/B0BVBPSCT2/ref=sr_1_4?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=6AHKURXJZ359&keywords=granulat+luftfeuchtigkeit&qid=1695832221&sprefix=granulat+luffeuchtigkei%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-4 The dry / extruder box can be used standing or hanging. If you want to place it on the table, however, you should put something under the sides so that the extruded filament is not bent too much. I hung the box on the wall with the following brackets: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09MZ74QGD?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_1Z8JSBCDD1SABWMG3K48&th=1 I have additionally designed rollers on which the filaments can be placed. But you only need these for "recycled" filament spools because they do not rotate so well. For the classic plastic filament spools you do not need the rollers.
