Filament Spooler - Closed Box Version

thingiverse

I designed a Filament Spooler specifically for my Prusa I3 to cope with the high humidity levels of living near the coast. I chose to create an enclosed box spooler that allows me to add silica crystals in order to control moisture effectively. This spooler is intended to be installed within a container and accommodates an 18mm dowel. To securely mount it, you'll need some M4 Nuts and Bolts. The design was created using FreeCAD, and I've included the original source file for your convenience. To assemble the spooler, begin with the inner mounting bracket which measures 10mm in thickness and is 40mm by 40mm in size. Next, attach the outer mount that's also 5mm thick and measures 40mm by 40mm. When printing the spooler, maintain a standard scale to ensure optimal performance. The samples shown were printed with black ABS at 0.3mm layer thickness for best results. I created the design in FreeCAD, and have included the original source file.
