Filament & Hygrometer Cap for Chef's Path Cereal Container

prusaprinters

<p>This is a replacement cap for the Chef's Path Airtight 135.2 oz. Cereal Storage Container that will allow the addition of a Hygrometer and a PC4-M6 Pneumatic Fitting. to make a Filament Dry Box Container.</p> <p>The hole for the fitting will need to be tapped with 6mm tap. I plan on making a threaded version in the future as well as one for a 10mm fitting.</p> <p>*<strong>UPDATE 7/4/2021</strong>*</p> <p>Added a Filament Spool Skate to accommodate most 1 kg Rolls. It is remix of <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/28932-spool-skate-for-rubbermaid-21-cup-drybox">Spool Skate for Rubbermaid 21 Cup Drybox</a> from the Prusa printers website.</p> <hr/> <p>*<strong>UPDATE 12/20/2021</strong>*</p> <p>Added a threaded version for a 10mm PC4-M10 Pneumatic Fitting. The fit is a bit tight so a wrench will be needed to tighten.</p> <p>*<strong>UPDATE 3/26/2022</strong>*</p> <p>Added a version with just a hole for the Hygrometer only in case you want to just store the filament in the container or use another solution that feeds the filament out through a hole drilled in the container like the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5265831">Filamentbox-Master-2000</a> by XrConrol.</p> <p>I placed a couple of Desiccant Packets at the bottom.</p> <p>The idea to use these containers was from a YouTube Video <a href="https://youtu.be/SlegwCT6exs/" title="Go to video">Cereal Container Boxes for Storing 3D Printer Filament!</a> by<em>Where Nerdy Is Cool</em>. I like the fact that by utilizing the pour hole I didn't have to drill any holes in the container and just need to swap out the cap. If I ever come up with another solution I can use the containers for their intended use.</p> <p>I purchased everything from <a href="https://www.amazon.com?linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20&amp;linkId=e4759bff1fa9a55a0f897d801ce2d765&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Amazon</a> (affiliate links included above) except for the tap which I already owned.</p> <p>When placing in the spool, be sure it is feeding from the bottom to it has a straight path to exit.</p> <p>Thank you for looking.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Ender 5</p> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>200</p> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>100</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong> GEETECH PLA</p> <p>BLACK</p> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>Printed on an Ender 5 Pro.</p> Category: 3D Printer Accessories
