Filament dry box with filter

thingiverse

The Backstory: I got a hold of some Nylon filament and it printed surprisingly well on my Ultimaker2+. I forgot to store the spool properly and after a day of damp weather the nylon had absorbed so much moisture that printing was reduced to a lot of fizzing and almost no layer adhesion. Crap. As any maker knows, when there's a problem, CAD solves it. I gathered a few things lying around and drew up a few parts in Fusion360. It took a couple of iterations to get things right, and there are still a few minor tweaks that could be made, but for my setup it's pretty much what I need and I'm loving the setup so far. TL;DR: Moisture gets into your filaments and degrades print quality and absolutely ruins your day. This'll help you fix that. Bill of Materials: * 8mm diameter carbon rod * Bowden tube fitting your filament size * 4 couplings fitting the bowden tube * Some hot glue or M3 screws to secure the brackets holding the rods * A sponge for the filter * An airtight container fitting your spool size I had one that wasn't airtight, but made it airtight by adding sealing strip. Again I hope some will find this useful. Print Settings: * Printer Brand: Ultimaker * Printer: Ultimaker 2 * Rafts: No * Supports: No * Resolution: 0.20MM * Infill: 60%
