Filament drybox PVC mount and hygrometer adapter

prusaprinters

All the bits needed to replicate my 4-spool filament drybox. I really liked these angled filament guides from bradcfisher. Not finding any spool holders I really liked, I made my own to put in my 20-quart gasket storage box. These fit a 1.25" PVC pipe, which snaps into the top. For best results, print in PETG or stiff TPU, so that the arms can flex without snapping. Finally, I added a hygrometer mount to fit the ubiquitous little rectangular hygrometers, which I've found to be more reliable than the round ones. You need to cut an approximately rectangular hole to fit the hygrometer, print the gasket in TPU or TPE, and print the faceplate and backing plate in PETG or PLA. Then, I use the faceplate to mark and drill six holes for the screws. Finally, I stack them up in the following order: outside - faceplate - hygrometer - gasket - BOX - backplate Add some M3 nuts and bolts and you're good to go! I toss a couple of my dessicant wedges into the box to keep things nice and dry.
